Top IAS officer trumps rival to be re-elected Gymkhana boss

NEW DELHI : Road transport secretary Vijay Chhibber was re-elected as the president of elite Gymkhana Club on Sunday for the second consecutive year defeating his rival Mohan Das Menon, a former IPS officer, by 527 votes.

The results were declared late Sunday night. Though the club has a convention of the president once elected is re-elected "unopposed" for the second year, this time polling happened as Menon joined the fray.

Both Chhibber and Menon are alumni of St Stephen's College.

"The members have responded in a mature manner to uphold the tradition and convention of our club. Our's is a conservative club and each member values and cherishes the articles that are the guiding principles which govern the club management. Conventions were sought to be broken and majority of members have given a befitting a reply with their overwhelming support," Chhibber said.

Just like last year, the "gentlemen's club" saw smear campaigns and a "lot of misinformation" was spread. This is perhaps for the first time a social media (youtube) was used for campaign.

Some of the members TOI spoke to said that they hope future elections in the club won't be fought "ugly".
