Is Modi the Creator of IPL? Should he get the credit for it?
by true on Apr 21, 2010 07:55 PM  | Hide replies

No. I think the credit should go to Kapil Dev. It is the idea of ICL mooted by Kapil Dev that has resulted in the creation of IPL. IPL was created to counter ICL. I think even with out Modi IPL would have achieved success.

Why Modi
by aaush jindal on Apr 21, 2010 07:50 PM

We all know about sunami in IPL. Things are like this from the start. Why only Lalit Modi should be axed if Sharad pawar, Manohar and all other persons of governing councils knew the facts. They all should be axed if modi goes. He just told us what is happening in IPL. Everone knows no franchisee is fair enough. Modi should be axed for what?

BCCI -the Casino Royal
by W Farnando on Apr 21, 2010 07:48 PM

There are many witches involved in the BCCI and this IPL is only an avatar.Without the tacit support of Pawar the main King Pin, Lalit MOdi could not have pulled off a right Royal coup as he has done.Today he has become Bigger than his mentor.Pawar wants to save his position and his family.Hence Modi has become the sacrificial Lamb.Now MOdi is the best bet to get him to spill the beam on all the other witches in the BCCI.Cricket is a gentleman's game.It will never be if this corrupt group is still going to run it.IPL must be run by the legitimate franchisees on rotational basis between different club owners if it should come out of its tarnished image.

GoD the great leveler
by true on Apr 21, 2010 07:41 PM  | Hide replies

When some body grows beyond everything else, time has come for his downfall. This rule applies well for both Modi and Tharoor. Modi reached a stage where he thought he is above everyone and nobody can touch him. Tharoor was all in the air and forgot his basic responsibilities. Even local leaders at TVM were not able to access him and he was flying high in a very different world. So was Modi with all his high headiness and arrogance. So there came the great leveler.

Yes but why the black money always stay in the hands of the these big guys. The Mallayas Ambani and Co Unlimited.

Why shd the common man not be part of big time corruption

Atleast the disparity will reduce and a common man's heart may share his booty with another common man

Yes, there is a parallel black money economy in India without which 7 % GDP growth wouldnt have been seen.

But isnt it time that we NATIONALIZE CORRUPTION for the benefit of the common man

Tinkering with the truth
by Akhilesh Mohan on Apr 21, 2010 07:37 PM

The IPL is not the lone body that sets the tinker - ball rolling
Which state body or bureaucrat does not tinker with information.

But law is above all

Once we find some one on the wrong side of it, justice should prevail and the concerned person must resign to clear his name

Delay and obstinacy only make the case worse;

Whatever be it politics, money or power or simply the charm of it - the reasons behind actions must come out in the open

It is simple - people will not accept IPL and very soon alternative will spring up, IPL perhaps loosing out to a market it established.

Becasue if every thing is fudged then so are the Matches too - perhaps - who knows

Another TANK OF WORMS (' A can' would be too small to satiate for big people like LM)
