"If you look from the perspective of corruption, how long will we tolerate what is going on at the DDCA? Is this kind of atmosphere that you want at a renowned Test centre of the country? At least we have been allowed to hold a press conference over here," Bedi said on a sarcastic note during a media interaction ahead of the association's elections.
Rao who is fighting against corruptions at the IOA had come to "express his solidarity with Bedi and Kirti Azad" for their fight against corruption.
Bedi was asked a number of questions on his meeting with Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo and Delhi's CM designate Arvind Kejriwal, and the spin legend termed it as a courtesy visit.
"What Arvindji is doing is at a larger scale as corruption is an issue throughout the country. Ours is on a much smaller canvas but the basic goal is the same. To eradicate corruption which is deep-rooted," Bedi said.
"As a player, I can understand Gautam's desperation to win matches for his state but the communication between players and officials is zero. Does DDCA officials have the same desperation of winning Ranji Trophy like the players? Are the voices of players like Sehwag, Gautam being heard?," Bedi questioned.
