FAQ on ASTO Election

Are u contesting alone or contesting as a panel?
======================================

We are contesting as a panel. Here is the detail
P.R.Kumar, SE(D) for President
S.Dhayalan, Dy.SE(Elx.) for Vice President
S.Kalaimani,SE(D), for Secretary
M.Robert, AE(D), for Jt. Secretary
Last time honorable asto members elected myself and Mr.Kalaimani from our panel. Till last we were united. people from other panel who came with their personal agenda could not work in harmony with us.
Hence my humble request is vote for the panel and not individuals

========================================

Question: it is alleged that you are silent and don't talk much

============================================

We talk less and do more. Shouting is a bad sign of hypertension. We raise our voice where it should be.

Long back there was an issue in ASTO. That time I was not in office. One of the ASTO members done a serious crime. But ASTO executives want to bail him out. They stood at the gate and were shouting. They shouted that officers should not go inside. But I stepped inside and others followed me.

That kind of unwanted shouting I won't do. Do you agree?

Its all election gimmicks. Last time they were telling that Kumar is a Malayalee, so don't cast your vote for him. This time they claim that I don't open my mouth. These people think that voters can be taken for a ride somehow.
God has given us one mouth and two ears. He is not a fool. He gave two ears to listen more and one mouth to talk less rather shout less !
We are silent but active. We have history of achievements !

=======================================
One of the contestants claims that he has been disturbed(Transferred) from the post of RIC by P.R.Kumar and he wants the reason for the unceremonous removal?
=======================================
Nice question. Now only I understand that Kumar is so powerful. Dear friends, leave alone RIC, even disturbing an AE from one shift to another shift is not possible without the approval of HDS. Its the whole Rig crew signed their concern aginst the individual. There was a struggle to remove him. HDS was of the opinion that he was the best RIC and can't be removed. ASTO had to give it in writing. Then the Asset Manager constituted an one man committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Naidu. He personnaly went to Rig and enquired about the gentleman and submitted the report. Based on the report aftre 6 months he was shifted. HDS always has a softcorner for some persons. The RIC of E1400-9 was doing a good job. HDS wanted to put this gentleman replacing the E1400-9 RIC. Again rigcrew approached ASTO and this gentleman was shifted to E760-16 rig. E760-16 rig crew also refused to take him as RIC. That is the real story.
=========================================
Is your panel supported by any group?

Vested interest panels are contesting. They won't come out openly. But behind the scene, they work together to defeat S.Kalaimani and PR Kumar & Panel for whom there is no self agenda!

About Tom, Dick & Harry?
==================================
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Look up Tom, Dick and Harry inWiktionary, the free dictionary.
This is about the phrase; for specific usages, see Tom, Dick and Harry (disambiguation).
The phrase "Tom, Dick and Harry" is a placeholder for multiple unspecified people; "Tom, Dick or Harry" plays the same role for one unspecified person. The phrase most commonly occurs as "every Tom, Dick and Harry", meaning everyone, and "any Tom, Dick or Harry", meaning anyone. The masculine names in these phrase do not in themselves imply exclusion of females, but use of either version when the context implies necessarily being female − for example, "Your mother could be any Tom Dick or Harry" − would normally be seen as careless or ironic.[citation needed]
Similar phrases exist in other languages, like Hinz und Kunz in German and Tizio, Caio, Sempronio, Mevio, Filano e Calpurnio in Italian.
