Sachin=GOD Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 'Narendra Modi wave' reaches BCCI: Amit Shah set for a top post Amit Shah will likely replace MCA's Ravi Savant as the BCCI’s vice-president from West Zone. Exit poll results predicting a Narendra Modi government have triggered talk of impending change in the BCCI as well. The so-far sidelined Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA), of which Modi is president, is suddenly being seen as an influential unit of the board. And BCCI members have little doubt that Amit Shah, BJP general secretary and GCA vice-president, will replace Mumbai Cricket Association’s Ravi Savant as the BCCI’s vice-president from West Zone during the annual general body meeting in September. GCA joint secretary Rajesh Patel said groundwork for Shah’s move to the BCCI is complete. “Shah is eligible for a vice-president’s post in the BCCI. He has attended two BCCI annual general body meetings,†Patel said. While Shah and Modi have been busy with the BJP’s election campaign, Shah’s 27-year-old son Jay, himself a joint secretary in the GCA, has been calling the shots in the state body, and has also attended BCCI meetings. A top BCCI official agreed with Patel. “Shah’s entry as a BCCI vice-president is a formality, no opposition can be expected. He will surely play a decisive role in the BCCI in case Modi comes to power,†the official said. While West Zone units Saurashtra, Baroda, Maharashtra and Mumbai have dissented against BCCI president N Srinivasan, Gujarat has remained neutral, which is likely to make Shah’s entry into the top hierarchy of the Indian board easier. The last BCCI vice-president from the GCA was Narhari Amin, a one-time Congress leader who has now joined the BJP. Interestingly, it was Amin whom Modi replaced as GCA president. Patel said GCA will benefit from a Modi prime ministership. “If Modi becomes the PM, it will be a great and proud moment for us in the GCA. We will be getting special attention from the board,†Patel said. http://www.financialexpress.com/news/narendra-modi-wave-reaches-bcci-amit-shah-set-for-a-top-post/1250989 So its Srini or Amit Shah for control of BCCI - choice between the devil and the deep blue sea....

Raghav_12 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 No question from bhakts that why Modi should be president of Gujrat Cricket Association? I have never seen any images of Modi in cricket whites from his youth or any which can show any kind of inclination he had for cricket. Link to comment

If this question had been raised a few months ago then probably we would have seen the cricketing exploits of Bal Narendra in the comics :cantstop: Link to comment
