Lalit Modi 'removed' as RCA president

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 12 Oktober 2014 | 21.24

JAIPUR: Another chapter was added to the Rajasthan Cricket Association soap opera on Saturday when Lalit Modi was "removed" as president following a no-confidence motion.

Deputy president Mehmood Abdi, secretary Sumendra Tiwary and treasurer Pawan Goyal were also "removed" after 23 district cricket associations moved the motion.

In a body of 33, the Rajasthan State Sports Act requires a quorum of two-thirds, out of which three-fourths has to agree to any such resolution.

That puts the cut-off at 22, which was crossed at the extraordinary general body meeting convened under secrecy.

The Modi loyalists, however, claim that this is a move by a few disgruntled elements and they did not have the numbers to pass such a resolution as is being claimed.

"They have placed dummy candidates from many district associations, who cannot legally represent these bodies," a Modi loyalist told TOI.

"There were at least 13 of us who had no idea about this meeting, so how can they claim that they have a quorum of 23?"

The revolt was led by Amin Pathan, a BJP strongman from Kota, who incidentally was amongst Modi's most vocal supporters when the latter was elected president in December.

Pathan was named as the acting president in the resolution on Saturday, with Chittorgarh's Shakti Singh Rathore as the acting secretary.

"We were assured that RCA will not suffer (following Modi's election) and that BCCI would not take any action," Pathan said justifying the resolution.

"Now, we will write to BCCI and ask them to lift the suspension as Modi is no longer president."

That, however, will depend on the courts, where a number of related cases are being heard. The Pathan-led body also removed the earlier battery of RCA lawyers from its legal committee and appointed its own candidates.

The new set of lawyers can withdraw the cases that the RCA has filed against the BCCI. However, with Mehmood Abdi, a seasoned lawyer himself, taking charge of matters, the Pathan group has a fight at hand.
