Never ever in the history of BCCI, Income Tax and Government has raised questions over them.
“Modi’s exit is a foregone conclusion. The BCCI members are extremely unhappy in the manner in which he brought about this controversy,” a top BCCI source informed.
“Never in the history of BCCI has the Income Tax sleuths raided the offices. It has not only tarnished the image of the Board but has also sullied the IPL brand,” the source said.
Today, even in Parliament, the question relating to black money in IPL was raised more than one time. Leaders from all parties want thorough investigation about the money involved in Indian Premier League.
Moreover, Modi himself is under intense pressure for allegedly helping his close friends and relatives to buy share in IPL teams.
