"I would request the honourable Supreme Court to direct the BCCI that its elections should be held under the observations of honourable Justice Lodha, who has been appointed to head the probe in the IPL spot fixing case. That is the only way to have free and fair elections," said Sahay, who besides being a former MP, is also chief of Cricket Association of Jharkhand.
Most recently, Supreme Court said that Srinivasan should not have presided over the BCCI working committee on February 8 citing conflict of interest. The next hearing of the case is on Friday and Sahay hoped that Supreme Court will declare all decisions taken in the "illegal" meeting in Chennai null and void.
"It is surprising to know to what extent Srinivasan went to cling to power in the BCCI. On December 9, 2014, Srinivasan counsel had to admit in the court that attending meeting was an "error" on his part. Yet, on February 8, 2015, Srinivasan presided over the meeting saying he was cleared by the court," said Sahay.
"It is a norm to have the elections at the BCCI headquarters. Besides that, several members have told us privately that they could be intimated and stopped from speaking their mind by Srinivasan's strongmen if the meeting is held in Chennai," he said.
