Here are the current status. And few observations:

• Shruti Shah will be soon in the list top 22. Its a matter of time only.
• The crucial elimination of Ashwini Agrawal will take place now and will decide fate of the rest of the Maharashtra candidates.
• The fight between Sarvesh Joshi and Ambarish Vaidya is still on and getting very fierce now.
• Currently Mumbai candidates who is outside 22 lists are Shruti Shah, who will soon be in list as said earlier. The other one is Kedar Mehendale. And Dayaram Paliwal elimination will decide his fate.

Fate of Candidates from outside Mumbai

For the WIRC, looking at the current chart, I see the fate of out side Mumbai candidates as below:

• From Maharashtra, Abhijit Kelkar and SN Mundada has already won and it is only of academic interest that how and when they finally declared formally elected and at what no. Kelkar is already in and you can find him elected may be by the time you read this post.
• Initially I was not sure about Umesh Sharma, but now I am fully confident that he too falls in the winning category and sure win. So no second thought. Congratulations Umesh, finally you will make this time after many tries.
• Out of Ambrish Vaidya and Savesh Joshi, one will be sure in. They are neck to neck and the one who remains above the other is a sure win. As of now Ambrish has an edge, but its wafer thin. This will be an interesting battle to watch. 
• is there any scenario that both Sarvesh and Ambrish can win and Pune can have 3 candidates to WIRC? This will depend on the elimination of Ashwini from Nagpur and standing of Mohan Barmecha and Vikrant after that.
• Ashwini Agrawal will be eliminated in some time. He would decide fate of rest of Maharashtra including Vikrant and Mohan Barmecha. Even Pune candidates too. One interesting fact is Abhijit is already achieving quota, so all of the second preference votes from Ashwini will not go to Abhijit and will go the the person who has marked as third preferential candidate. And who will be this? Vikrant and Mohan Barmecha will be the highest beneficiaries. And this will decide seats of rest of Maharashtra's candidates. 
• interesting to watch.

WIRC progress for Regional Council

Now the RCM battle reaching in the interesting stage. The tough fight for the Mumbaikars who are neck to neck and still out of first 22. each elimination is capable for making or breaking them. Looking at the current trends, it looks like:

• Ashok Jain can be Shrinivas Joshi of regional council. His progress on the subsequent elimination doesn't look very encouraging. 
• Subodh Kedia's from Ahmedabad, fate is sealed and I don't see any further chance now. It is only a matter of time academic interest that at what stage he gets eliminated, but eliminations is for sure. His only hope is Surat candidate elimination of Harekrushna, but I doubt he can give him much as Hardik Shah will take everything from him. So it is a sad exit for him. He is the second sitting RCM who is in danger. He is a hard working and very energetic follow who contributed a lot to Ahmadabad branch and WIRC.
• Surprisingly many sitting RCM are still struggling after lots of eliminations. This doesn't happen so often. Following are still not in confident position and struggling every inch towards their gate way of BKC.
• Subodh Kedia
• Ashok Jain
• Shruti Shah
• Sarvesh Joshi

Congratulations to all, here is the final list of Central Council members

All happened as predicted and on expected line. Votes from Durgesh Kabra made the final decision that it is Dhiraj and Anil Bhandari in the council. The Mumbai magic worked. But we can't blame it. If Parag could get to this level despite another fellow Amdavadi was already on top 5, it was only because of Amdavad magic.So local factor do impacts all elections.

Let us admire spectacular performance by Parag Raval. he hold his 6th position till the end. He got a very good number of votes and support from the members. He was on the verge of making history to give two CMM from Ahmedabad. Hard luck Parag, no worries next time..

Nagpur couldn't make it. Only representation from Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat and Mumbai. 8 CCM from Mumbai.

Though still elimination of Julfesh Shah is pending and theoritically it is still possible that Parag get votes and get into the final list, but it is not going to happen unless he gets 500 votes from Julfesh Shah.

So here is the list of final candidates to Central Council from WIRC. Please join me in congratulating them and looking forward a great term full of activities to take the profession to the new height.

CCM: Here few points I want to make about few people

Here few points I want to make about few people:

• Glad to have the well deserved candidate N C Hegde in council. Despite getting lots of first preference votes, he couldn't make it last time. Very happy and glad to see him in Central Council and my heartiest congratulations!!

• Shrinivas Joshi was the only sitting central council member who lost the election. He is an excellent person and a sincere contributor. Hard luck for him. But let's recognize his contribution to the profession .

• Prafulla Chhajed has proved again a man of masses and mufasil. He started from 12th place with 1665 votes and he has doubled his votes from second and subsequent preferences. And that from everywhere. And that proves his reach accross the region. Many congratulations to Prafulla. I worked with him as vice chairman when he was a chairman of WIRC.

• Dhinal Shah was the candidate for whom nobody had any shred of doubt about his electoral results. A thorough gentleman, easily accessible to all. And very simple person.

Now I am boarding from Dubai

I am boarding from Dubai so next post once land in Mumbai. Then early morning Ahmedabad. Was in client meeting and couldn't get time to look and see at RCM tally so far.
