AGM Tomorrow, No Nominee In Sight! With just two days to go for the Cricket Board\'s much-awaited Annual General Meeting, both N Srinivasan and his rival faction are keeping their cards close to the chest as the suspense mounts on who will be the next President of the cash-rich body.
Chennai: With just two days to go for the Cricket Board's much-awaited Annual General Meeting, both N Srinivasan and his rival faction are keeping their cards close to the chest as the suspense mounts on who will be the next President of the cash-rich body.
With Srinivasan not contesting the much-postponed elections, he is now busy trying to find a suitable candidate who will be acceptable to all his loyalists, many of whom are exploring their options.
The anti-Srinivasan group has projected Maratha strongman Sharad Pawar as a possible candidate for the top post though it is still not known whether he is actually keen to contest.
“I have not decided on it. Basically I am not eager (to contest for president's post),” Pawar had said two days ago. But it won't be surprising if he plunges into the electoral fray if he finds that he has enough numbers to topple Srinivasan.
In the current scenario, the BJP may play a big part in tilting the scales for any candidate given that it control 8 of the 31 votes. Pawar had recently met Prime Minister Narendra Modi to reportedly seek his support for the BCCI elections but it is still not known whether he got any commitment from the leader although a source close to Pawar said that he has got the BJP's backing.
