BCCI calls working committee meeting

NEW DELHI: The emergent working committee meeting of the BCCI might just be the last nail in the coffin for N Srinivasan. Some of the BCCI officials, led by joint-secretary Anurag Thakur, were demanding for an emergency meeting where they wanted to ask the BCCI president N Srinivasan the questions that had been going on in the media for a while now.

The president was not keen to convene the meeting till Friday evening, but the pressure became so much that he wasn't left with too many options but to give the go-ahead. It's understood that the joint-secretary Thakur, secretary Sanjay Jagdale and treasurer Ajay Shirke had gone to the extent of threatening that they might quit from their posts if this emergency meeting is not convened.

"This is going to be a crucial meeting. Difficult questions are going to be asked to Srinivasan and the pressure might just be on him to resign from the post of the president," a source close to the developments, said.

When asked in the morning, Thakur, the joint-secretary, who represents Himachal Pradesh and is also a BJP MP, had said that it's not a numbers game and that everyone in the Board wants the mess to be cleared out. "Our aim is to ensure a fair running of the BCCI and that's why we want to call the meeting," he said.

Now that it has been called, the next week is going to be crucial with hectic back-room parleys where the course of action will be decided upon.
