Gymkhana president faces poll in second year

NEW DELHI: In a break from convention, the capital's elite Gymkhana Club will see a contest for incumbent president Vijay Chhibber who will not be unanimously re-elected in his second year as is the norm.Chibber, the road transport secretary, has been challenged by retired IPS officer Mohan Das Menon. The polling is scheduled for Sunday.

Many of the club members TOI spoke to seemed unhappy with the election this year since the club is breaking its convention. "Though election for president is held every year, the convention is that the president once elected is re-elected unopposed for the second year. But this time there is a contest," lamented a member.

Others said this year too there is mudslinging between the rival camps, which is "unfortunate". "I strongly feel that we should have respected the convention. But even if there is a contest, we all must behave like gentlemen and should not accuse each other," said B L Vohra, a former IPS officer, who had contested last year for president's post.

In the video that was launched only three days back, Menon is seen seeking votes on his "campaign for change".

Last year, the club witnessed a bitter four-cornered contest, including a woman candidate for the first time in its history.
