BCCI AGM put on hold for two months
Our Bureau / Kolkata September 24, 2005
The 76th annual general meeting of the BCCI was adjourned on Friday for two months with the consent of both Jagmohan Dalmiya and Sharad Pawar factions. The AGM will be convened before November 30.
There were indications from both the camps that during the intervening period some compromise formula could evolve, when Sharad Pawar - the main rival of the Dalmiya camp - was inducted in the vital marketing committee of the board. Besides, both Dalmiya and Sharad Pawar agreed today to give a relook to the 60 years old constitution of the premier sports body of the country.
After the adjournment of the meeting, former BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya told reporters that the two-day impasse in BCCI’s AGM clearly shows the bankruptcy of the administration of the premier body. “This is certainly not desirable because BCCI is the role model for other sports body of our country. We have to work out something so that in future such things may be avoided. Let us try at least,” he said.
