Shame on Indian politicians and corrupt BCCI - players pushed to back, politicians steal the show
Indian politicians and the corrupt BCCI go at it again. They are shameless - real shameless people. One would have thought that the 15 cricketers who brought India the glory at the Twenty20 World Cup were the heroes but...
The front row was filled with BCCI top brass and Maharashtra state ministers with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni the only Team India member finding a place among the ''elite''.
The front row was filled with BCCI top brass and Maharashtra state ministers with skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni the only Team India member finding a place among the ''elite''.
Also on the front row were BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah, Vice-Presidents Lalit Modi and Rajeev Shukla and former Board President I S Bindra.
In fact, the whole spectacle seemed like a carefully organized political rally with Board President Sharad Pawar, who is the Union Agriculture Minister and a political heavyweight of the state, playing to the galleries in his short speech as if it was an election rally.
He was clearly trying to take full mileage out of the unexpected victory that Dhoni and his brave hearts achieved at the Wanderers in Johannesburg.
Not to be outdone, Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil gave a speech in Marathi that seemed unusually long and out of place in the setting, with other state politicians also sharing the spotlight.
When his turn to speak came, Dhoni could not help remarking ‘a lot has been in English and Marathi. Now let me stick to Hindi’.
