Anonymous newsletter targets RCTA

An anonymous person has managed to grab the undue attention of dealers in
Jaipur. Using an e-mail newsletter called IT Khabri, the anonymous person has
been pointing our various pain areas of the channel community in Rajasthan and
has taken it upon himself to be the mouthpiece of the local channel.

The executive committee members of Rajasthan Compu­ters Traders' Association
(RCTA) seemed to be at the receiving end of the newsletters. The newsletter
highlighted the inactive attitude of the association and blamed executive
members for utilizing the association for their personal benefits. It further
criticized members for not showing any responsibility towards issues like cheque
bouncing, squeezing margins and vendor-partner relationship. According to market
resources, the prime objective of the sender seems to be to replace the existing
executive body of the association.

The mail also highlighted the names of a few dealers whose payments were not
clear in the market. He further urged dealers to throw light on more issues that
could be highlighted among the rest of the channel community.

According to one dealer who was pro IT Khabri, “The inert attitude of the
association is evident from the fact that more than one and a half years have
passed since RCTA's elections were to be conducted, and for a long time there
has been no news regarding the IT fair or activities in the state.”

The general feeling among dealers in Jaipur was that the contents of the
newsletter clearly reflect that someone is trying to play politics in the
channel community and is aiming to break the association.
