New Delhi: Claiming to have been vindicated after the Supreme Court barred N Srinivsan from contesting BCCI Presidential elections owing to conflict of interest, sacked IPL Commissioner Lalit Modi on Thursday said the verdict will clean up corruption in the game.
“Extremely happy with the Hon. Supreme Court judgement on #srinivasan ..always believed that I would be vindicated #IPLVerdict,” Modi said in a series of tweets after the apex court disallowed Srinivasan from fighting the BCCI Presidential election.
“Decision by Hon. SC to disallow any administrator from having any commercial interest in cricket is bang on #IPLVerdict #SriniGameOver,” he added.
Modi said his position on conflict of interest has been proved right by the apex court.
“#Srinivasan knew all along that Rule 6.2.4 is unsustainable & illegal. #IPLVerdict now ensures a new @BCCI chief in 6 weeks. Time 4 cleanup,” he said.
“Cannot agree more on SC’s observation: “Game is a game only if it is pristine and free from any sporting fraud” #IPLVerdict is watershed!” he added. (PTI)
