Hi Jayantilal, Your suggestions are valid but not your accusations.
Please note that every board member who have served the board will deserve a great salute from me for spending their volunteer time and so Srikanth does. I'm sure the current EC will also agree though its been just 4-5 months. It's not a easy task. Also note that Srikanth has given some splendid contributions to the movement. He is that person who will just walk for whole day on road to upload toll and images on buses to Commons. Everyone has right to quit as well for their own reasons with the approval of the board. I think as now we have a new board, its time to support them and the movement in India.
