** IPL & Scandals **


In their personal tussle, Shashi Tharoor and Lalit Modi opened a can of worms and more and more skeletons are tumbling out of the cup-board every day!! It is still surprising that why there is no investigation into all these murkier deals. IPL is very much corrupt and that is very evident now. What is not known is the real depth of corruption. Anything that involves cricket, you cannot keep Dawood away. With the names of actual investors and companies NOT known clearly, the Govt should have stepped in to find out to check the involvement of Dawood and other Pak based terrorists (not to rule out Mumbai based dons). That has not happened. But, given the record of the present Congress Govt, which has a soft corner for such corruptions that is only understandable (Haven't we seen the Telecommunication scam involving our "GREAT" A.Raja)!!

Shady involvement of high profile ministers in IPL are published in black and white. They keep dishing out white lies in the name of excuses!! Abuse of power has been recorded. Daughter of the aviation minister was able to divert an "Air India" aircraft for IPL!! Who gave her the power?? Daughters/Relatives of big industrialists work for Lalit Modi! Lalit Modi has direct interest in three of the IPL teams!! It is not a question of few thousands - but thousands of crores of rupees. Where did all the money come from?? Who is behind who?? We know nothing.

Lalit speaks as though he is the one who created and made IPL a big success!! Any Ramu and Somu in his place would have made this possible - simply because IPL was waiting to happen. The timing was ripe and Lalit Modi just happened to be in the right place. Having said that, Lalit Modi, without the support of Political bigwigs, could not have done this all by himself., sweeping all rules and regulations under the carpet. Laws, regulations, rules, procedures have all been kissed good-bye!! For more truth to come out, suspects needs to be screwed. But, that in India, will NEVER happen. RIP !!
