Win and loss is part of life. Looking forward to the next election. People will get tired of Nitish sooner or later and miss their Lalu.

Lets hope Laluji, you will be there (Biharis' bhai memory) till that time. But I m sure, your time has gone, enjoy with your animals and their foods (CHARA)
In India, you do not have honest people for rendering selfless service - be it Sports, politics or NGO. We have lost our values,lost our heritage, ancient wisdom. The current practice is preach Gandhism and act like Hitler
But cut all the bush, and you can see these points:
1. My family and friends were the only bidders for IPL-1. Hard to believe, with Vijay Mallya, Shahrukh, Ambanis etc bidding. How many people had he approached really? And how was it done?
2. I made billions for BCCI, so they shouldn't complain about the loss of a few millions. Mmmm on the face of it, good argument, but forgets that he was an employee of BCCI entrusted with the charge of making money, not losing it. If the millions spent were to get the billions in, the argument would have been valid. But it isn't.
3. GSW was entitles to make 80mn. Well, if they had made a deal 4-5 years after receiving the contract, the argument would have made sense, since valuations would have changed by then. But the fact that they were immdtly able to sell it for 80mn means a gross misjudgment on Modi's part of the inherent value of the contract.

AND ADD TO IT:- He is not the pioneer of product. This product was launched in hurry by BCCI to finish Kapil Dev led ICL of Subhash Chandra.
Modi deserves the highest praise for the thundering success with which he ran the first three IPL editions.
Now, the darker side of Modi is that broke rules at will and there's enough circumstantial evidence to points that he was corrupt.
However, good cannot be used to cancel out bad. What is good is good and what is bad is bad. Do praise Modi for whatever good he has done, but that cannot be an excuse to turn a blind eye towards the bad that he has done.
...just one of the many corrupt officials in Indian cricket. Ofcourse, if one is to categories the level of corruption, he will fall into the highest category along with few of the BCCI ex-Presidents.
He didn't take a penny of tax payer money. He gave hundreds of crores in taxes. He created a brand out of nothing. He made IPL a huge success. well, there were enemies. A media who was fulminating at the loss of massive advertisement revenues which were diverted to IPL. A BCCI who saw he is becoming bigger than them corrupt lazybones. One biggest mistake he made was taking on a Congress Minister. He doesn't know India ia an undeclared autocracy when Congress is in power. Then everyone was unleashed on him. That was his moment-ish ego mistake.

Notwithstanding that Modi may have run the IPL with thundering success; he may not have munched upon the tax payer's money; other in BCCI may also be super-corrupt, Modi has resorted to a very high level of corruption. (It is not necessary to steal the tax payer's money to be called corrupt).
