CA Amresh Vashisht, Meerut

CA AMRESH VASHISHTElections are normal in democratic institution. Our Electoral College is uniquely as it impact on both the power of governance of our Alma Mater ICAI and the relative power of member’s livelihood. We, the contestants are not different from others the only difference is that by accepting the challenge of election we have decided a step further. We are going to represent you as a model of true professional which combines the idea of the pivotal player in addition to our role of practicing member.

For me, It’s my honour and a privilege to decide to contest the central council election with an intention to serve the profession and members .I’ve always said that it is my proudest role in keeping track of icai policies effecting our name, fame and livelihood. I hope to continue doing for many years to come irrespective of outcome of results.

It requires hard work, massive traveling, spending hard earned money and readiness to receive hard words from the fellow being. At this election, the most important question you must ask yourself is – who can you trust to stand up for our fraternity? Are we going to decide the fate of candidates on state boundaries, municipal boundaries, caste, and religion? You have to select us with all your intellect because financial conditions, fame and powers of the candidates are not equal. Though there are limits of expenditure but nobody cares for it.

Integrity and honesty are two things which no longer seem to matter to our elected leaders . Power and prestige however seem to matter far too much, and I do not think this is right. There is no uniform distribution of availability of work among the fraternity. We are forced to act in a manner as dictated by our leaders not the way of our choice. Why there is a concept of fake partnerships in our profession? Things has to be resolved if we want to take the name of profession with dignity. I am here for a change.
The CIRC constituency area from which I am contesting the Central Council election is of 1256324 km²- i.e Uttar Pradesh 243,286 km²- Utrakhand 53,483 km² -Madhya Pradesh 308,245 km²-Bihar 94,163 km²- Jharkhand 79,714 km²-Chatisgarh 135,194 km²-Rajasthan 342,239 km². So if any one decides to represent such a vast area, he should get all support from the fraternity. The title of my manifesto start with “DARE TO DREAM ‘’I did it and I feel everyone at any point of time of his/her life should contest the election. Don’t vote out of fear or formality; vote for something positive and for someone you can trust.

“My vision is to be an honest, empathetic and impactful leader and to be recognized within my fraternity. I am committed to growing as a leader and delivering value-added projects to the end users. My mission is to create and lead a team where every member is playing to his/her strengths.”CA Amresh Vashisht.
