BCCI sees red as Modi eyes comeback through RCA polls
20 Dec 2013 6:13 AM IST
The high-voltage polls, which have become a thorn in the flesh of BCCI because of Modi who contested for the post of RCA president, were held under the Supreme Court appointed principal observer justice NM Kasliwal, who as per the directives of Supreme Court, sealed the ballot boxes and send it to the apex court with his full report.
‘The observer would send the results to the apex court with his reports and it would decide the further course of action on January 6th, when the matter comes up for next hearing,’ said Abhinav Sharma, the lawyer of RCA.
The results are likely to be announced on 6 January when the matter comes up for hearing in apex court. The polling went off peacefully at RCA academy on Thursday and the Modi faction is claiming an easy victory.
There are 33 district cricket associations as voters and the result would be based on the 29 votes whereas four districts are amid controversies and their votes would only be counted if the need arises. Both the warring factions of these districts have been allowed to cast votes because the matter is in litigation. There are nine candidates for six posts of vice-presidents and seven are in fray for four joint secretary positions. For the four posts of organising secretary, there are six candidates. Three executive members were elected unanimously as there were only three nominations.
The RCA faces a threat of suspension if former IPL commissioner Modi reclaims the post of RCA president as he is likely to win against Ram Pal Sharma. Meanwhile, BCCI bosses are looking at every option to scuttle his plans.
