BCCI: Pawar family not involved

NDTV Correspondent, Monday April 26, 2010, Mumbai

Shashank Manohar, president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), said the IPL bidding process was not influenced by any politicians.

"I don't think there is any political pressure. I can assure you as far as I am concerned. Nobody can change my decision. Modi stands suspended from all posts -- as the BCCI vice president, member of the marketing committee, fixture committee and all the board activities," he said.

"There is no involvement of any member of the family of former BCCI president Sharad Pawar. The bid documents have been seen by the Income-tax departments officials. Media is entitled to speculation," he added.

Shameless Shashank, who should have resigned before ousting Modi as the buck stops with him, has hurriedly given Pawar family a clean chit. This proves that he is only carrying out the Congress agenda in his crusade against Modi. Congress would have decided to leave Sharad Pawar alone in some quid pro quo deal, which Sharad Pawar is good at making.
