Corruption manifests corruption in Indian Cricket

 Sreesanth & 2 other cricketers have been arrested by Delhi police after possibly months of scrutiny of their affairs. Delhi police care less about what happens on the streets of Delhi where women are molested, raped & then brutally assaulted or murdered.

To me it appears that IPL owners are throwing away parties and flowing money into this not for nothing in return.

The Return on Investment is quite much and that is the promising aspect for them.
How do you for instance justify :
1. Vijay mallya's attendance when he is supposedly "bankrupt" and owes many banks crores of rupees.
2. FEMA violations of the IPL Franchisee owners are swept under the carpet.
3. BCCI not taking a stand on controlling the menace. BCCI says it could happen to any game...how lame duck an argument.
4. Investment in IPL teams done by companies situated in tax heavens abroad.

The BCCI has become a well oiled money laundering racket with all political parties and business men running the show & sharing the proceeds. Not surprising that the biggest cash cow the IPL has been shielded and systematically cut away from investigative agencies glare.

On a day when the Coal blocks allocation & railway board scams were pushed under the carpet.
Sreesanth became the sacrificial lamb....throw in a "D" word and you have the perfect recipe for clearing public memory of huge scams and government demeanors at the highest order & levels.
one wonders if "Dawood " is called upon by the congress party to solve their issues.

Sreesanth is not guilty at all when compared to the Business men who run the BCCI & IPL.
compared to BCCI looting Sreesanth  is just a man who wanted to make a quick buck just the timing was wrong.
its a case of slight corruption of a already corrupt money making venture.
Lalit modi's tirade against Sreesanth just adds to the irony of it all..

its like a parody of the movie "a few good men" instead here we have a "few bad men" among criminals.



Sonia & Rahul can heave a sigh of relief along with manmohan singh. They must thank their stars & Lalit modi for inventing IPL and keeping the average indians glare on to the cricketfield rather than functioning of the government Machinery.
