NOIDA: The election to the residents' welfare association (RWA) of Sector 20 turned out to be a farce with the acting president declaring himself the winner in a poll that did not take place.
On Sunday morning, acting president Pyarelal Yadav called a meeting to push for re-election of erstwhile office bearers. But the attempt failed as about 300 residents landed at the meeting demanding details of last year's expenses under Yadav.
An old timer in the sector, Suresh Tiwari, said when residents questioned Yadav on the expenses, he read out from notes written with a pencil on a sheet of paper. "There were no bills, only listings on various expenses including Rs 10 lakh purportedly spent on security. When we asked for proper bills and a balance sheet of last year's expenses, Yadav changed the subject and declared himself the president of a 'newly elected' RWA," Tiwari said. Yadav was reported to have garlanded himself after announcing that he was the president.
