India, Sept. 11 -- The Cine and TV Artistes' Association (CINTAA) is set for fresh elections tomorrow, September 12. A court on September 9 rejected outgoing president, actor Poonam Dhillon and general secretary, actor Padmini Kolhapure's plea to stay the polls ordered by its parent body, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE). The elections were called after 11 of CINTAA's 21 executive committee members resigned last month, alleging autocratic and dictatorial functioning by the top office-bearers, leading to an internal crisis. On the decision, FWICE General Secretary Ashok Dubey says, "This election is an opportunity to restore collective governance, constitutional integrity, and financial transparency that was hindered by the former leaders. We, at FWICE, do not want to intervene in CINTAA's work, but the problem had become too big and required immediate discourse." Ashoke Pandit, FWICE chief advisor, adds, "The court's green light for the elections reaffirms that no individual or ego is bigger than the welfare." Upasana Singh, CINTAA's former general secretary and actor, says, "Yeh ek badi jeet hai. The court did justice... Maine resign bhi nahin kiya tha, aur Padmini Kolhapure, jo unki friend hain, unko Poonam ji ne naya general secretary ghoshit kar diya." "The election will be held on September 12 with a new executive body formed the same day to take the work forward," adds Pandit....
