Srinivasan was the lone Presidential candidate put forward by the South Zone, from where he got the proposer and the seconder.
While Srinivasan's nomination was on expected lines, there was some interesting drama which unfolded during the nominations for the other posts.
Sudhir Dabir, vice President from the central zone and his west zone colleague Niranjan Shah were removed from their positions even though both were eligible for extension. MCA president Ravi Savant replaced Shah from west zone, while senior Congress leader and union minister Rajiv Shukla took Dabir's position from the central zone.
While Dabir is considered close to former BCCI chief and Srinivasan's adversary Shashank Manohar, Shah is perceived to be a confidante of another former Board head Sharad Pawar, someone who harbours the ambition to upset Srinivasan's applecart.
