Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner and BCCI vice-president, has lost the Rajasthan Cricket Association's (RCA) presidential elections for the second time in a year, defeated by CP Joshi, a central government minister, by six votes. The reverse, on his home ground, will be an embarrassment for Modi but his BCCI post is secure as he is also vice-president of the Punjab Cricket Association. The high-profile election was marred by a scuffle earlier in the day between supporters of the two groups. Modi had alleged that his supporters were being intimidated and prevented from casting their vote. "Some of my supporters are being beaten up and it is unfortunate," he said. "We hope for the good of cricket people are allowed to cast their votes. But there are goonda (rowdy) elements out here, who shouldn't be here." A bitter fight for control of the RCA has put Rajasthan cricket in turmoil, particularly over the past couple of months. Modi lost the RCA elections in March earlier this year but in September Sanjay Dixit, who'd become president, was removed from power by the Modi faction, which claimed a majority. The no-confidence motion brought in by the Sri Ganganagar District Association was subsequently accepted, and it was decided that fresh elections would be held on October 14. The date was later changed to November 19. The nadir was reached when cricket teams from both factions landed up for the Syed Mushtaq Ali Twenty20 tournament in October, which resulted in Rajasthan being barred from the tournament. A scheduled one-dayer between India and Australia in Jaipur was also moved to Vadodara as a result of the power struggle. http://www.cricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/438474.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May sanity prevail on this mercenary and may he fail in his attempts to kill the future of Indian cricket.Aameen!

He has always thought for Indian good. He has made sure that we do not play those 1950s sport and live in the new world of T20s and One days. It's the new era and Modi is it's ray of light. :hail: Hopefully, he will win Rajasthan elections next year and ban all the 4 day first-class cricket in the state. More T20s are the way of success and modi knows the secrets. :hail:
