BCCI chief Srinivasan brother Ramachandran elected IOA president [Unopposed]

[velu]

New Delhi: After serving a 14-month suspension, India are seemingly on the right track that will ensure their return to the Olympic fold. World Squash Federation president N. Ramachandran - brother of Board of Control for Cricket in India boss N. Srinivasan - was elected unopposed as president of Indian Olympic Association in Delhi on Sunday. Electing 'clean' office bearers is the biggest condition set by the International Olympic Committee in accepting IOA back in the Olympic family. The elections, which were conducted by a three-member election commission of the IOA, was preceded by a Special Governing Body Meeting that saw an amendment in the IOA constitution. As per IOC's diktats, the IOA adopted a rule that will ensure "charge-framed" persons will have no role to play in the national Olympic committee. Effectively, men like Lalit Bhanot, who has served a jail term due to charges of fraud during the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, can never contest an IOA election. While Ramachandran was elected as president, Kho Kho Federation of India president Rajeev Mehta and All India Tennis Association chief Anil Khanna were elected unopposed as secretary general and treasurer, respectively. CEO of Swimming Federation of India, Virender Nanavati has been voted as senior vice-president. Interestingly, neither squash nor kho-kho are Olympic events. IOC director of NOC Relations Pere Miro, IOC Ethics Commission member Francisco J Elizalde from the Philippines and Olympic Council of Asia Director General Husain Al Musallam were the observers from the world body.

I wonder if this guy will one day before the king of Olympic committees. Srinivasan should branch out into field hockey. Bring back grass pitches. That is one sport which is ripe for the taking by india.
