Kamal Nath says BCCI president should resign

New Delhi, May 25 (ANI): Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath on Saturday said the Board of Cricket Control in India President N. Srinivasan has lost all his credibility and should resign.

Demanding his resignation, Nath further said, "He allied with his family and executed match-fixing. Whatever has happened is sad and people have lost all trust from the game they love. The government is working on the entire issue to bring in stringent laws to curb dishonesty."

Meanwhile, a defiant N. Srinivasan said that he had done nothing wrong with regard to the Indian Premier League, and categorically refused to resign from his position.

New Delhi, May 24 (ANI): Describing cricket as an important and popular game, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) spokesman D.Tripathi on Friday called for the resignation of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president N.Srinivasan on moral grounds in the wake of his son-in-law and Chennai Super Kings Principal Gurunath Meiyappan being summoned by the crime branch of Mumbai Police to join the investigations into the spot fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

NCP leaders, however, later distanced the party from Tripathi's remarks.

"His views are his own. Law must take its course," a party leader said.

I hold no brief for Srinivasan. However, it is ironic that Kamal Nath should demand the resignation of BCCI chief because his son-in-law has been accused of spot fixing. Where was Kamal Nath when Pawan Bansal's nephew, Vijay Singla, was caught for accepting bribes for arranging to induct Mr. Mahesh Kumar as a Railway Board Member, Electrical.

All Congress members gave their verdict that Bansal need not resign. Finally he was forced to do so by Sonia Gandhi.Even Manmohan Singh our honest Prime Minister did not want either Bansal or Aswani Kumar to resign.

As for the NCP, the less said the better.

Sharad Pawar's daughter's and nephew's names have cropped up in various scams in Maharashtra but that has not made Sharad Pawar resign.

So how could he ask for Srinivasan's resignation?

Our politicians hunger for Money, Power and Wealth is limitless which their salaries and perks as MPs and MLAs cannot be fulfilled.

They start their entry into the Assembly or Parliament as lakhpatis.

In one term itself they become multi-crorepatis.

Anti-social elements first become pick-pockets or robbers or extortionists.

Then they become promoters after kidnapping and murdering a few people, with the blessings of the police and politicians.

Then they realize why should they do the dirty work for politicians and then they themselves become politicians.

That is the CV of most of our exisitng politicians.

Now let us change that.

Arvind Kejriwal has short listed 44 candidates for the Delhi Elections.

They are all responsible unlike the present lot of politicians.

Out the 44, he will finally select 12.

I would request you to support his candidates in the Delhi election and subsequently Haryana elections.

We now have the opportunity to choose honest men to represent us.

Don't allow it to go waste.
