Reports | DDCA members write to CoA requesting re-election
The members of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) have reportedly written to the Committee of Administrators (CoA) requesting for re-election. The members are reportedly unhappy with the fact that the elections were held as per the BCCI's old constitution and not the new one.
With less than 20 days left for the all-important BCCI election, in a stunning revelation, the members of DDCA have reportedly written to the CoA for re-election at the association in line with the August 9, 2018 order of the Supreme Court. As per a report by IANS, who accessed some e-mails, the members are unhappy with the fact that the elections were held without taking into account BCCI's new constitution and hence are demanding for re-election under the new constitution.
"Please take a note that the last election of DDCA was held well before the Supreme Court Judgment 9th August 2018 and registration of BCCI new constitution. DDCA whole election process was not as per the new constitution of BCCI. It was held under the old constitution of DDCA," a member of the DDCA told IANS, reported News18.
Another member pointed out at the flaws and loopholes and how the election was held in accordance with the rules and regulations of the old constitution, which saw the executive being formed with 16 directors instead of nine and with the cooling period also being in line with the old constitution.
"The DDCA had no provision of Apex council. There was no provision for representative of men and women cricket association. There was no single director for the apex council. The executive was formed with 16 Directors instead of 9 Directors as mentioned in BCCI new constitution. Cooling off period was also not as per BCCI new constitution which had barred several deserving members from contesting," the member said.
Another member requested for the DDCA to appoint an election officer and hold new full body elections under the new constitution with appropriate approval.
"Please issue the direction to the DDCA to appoint an election officer and hold new full body elections under due process of Supreme Court approved new constitution with immediate effect in Extra Ordinary General Meeting," the member said.
