Sabkush Headlines: Modi threatens to spread the IPL stink further
Modi threatens to spread the IPL stink further
In an email to BCCI president Shashank Manohar, Modi questioned BCCI secretary and Chennai Super Kings owner N Srinivasans authority to call a meeting of the GC. "The IPL has been given the powers by the general body to hold their own meetings and I am sorry to say the Hon Secretary has never called a GC since inception or is the convenor. All he is actually is an ex-officio member of the GC as an office-bearer of BCCI, and as he is a conflicted party who owns a team. He has never, and can now too not call a GC meeting," Modi wrote. "If the meeting does go ahead on the 26th of April instead of 1st of May as I have asked (it) will (be) deemed to be unofficial. I do not propose to attend any unauthorised meeting," he wrote. But the BCCI said it was all set to go ahead with the April 26 meeting. Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty said: "The meeting hasnt been postponed, it will take place on April 26." With Modi not giving in to pressure to quit and adopting a confrontational approach (his mail to Manohar starts with "I disagree with you completely") and the BCCI keen to curtail his powers, a battle is on the cards. Modis mail -- to which The Indian Express has access -- also mentions that the April 26 meeting doesnt give him enough time to dig out details that he will need to present his case before the GC. "We are working 24x7 and as such have had no time to prepare or will have time to do so till post 26th."
