For Shashi Tharoor, it was his first innings in the dirty world of Indian Politics. Never would he have imagined, that he would end up being the protagonist of Himesh Reshamiya's next mega blockbuster 'Aap Ka Tharoor' with Sunanda Pushkar & himself in the leading role, and Lalit Modi being played by Himesh himself. Lalit is highly embarrassed to know that Himesh will play his character, and therefore he called up Himesh to inform him about his eagerness to play his character himself, as it is, he is quite unsure of his career as the IPL chief.
The conclusion I take from all the things that have happened in the last one week is that stock prices of media companies owning news channels in India will surely go up & sky rocket even if it is a recession all over... Controversies galore it is for them, business rocking, with first the 'hamari beti ki shaadi' (Sania-Shoaib) to now the 'Pardeh Ke Peeche Kya Hai' controversy of the DLF IPL. In our country, controversies have happened, happen, and shall continue to happen on an average gap of 3-4 days from one another.
Lalit Modi, obviously never realized that his own tweet sent to tweak the image of Shashi Tharoor, & to make room for the Gujju Team, would in the end be the reason for a full investigation into the backoffice operations of how his team at the DLF IPL were working. With investigations on full swing, more nervousness can be felt in the Agriculture & Aviation ministry of India than by Lalit Modi & Shashi Tharoor. Though,it won't be surprising if everyone comes out clean, as these ministers are heavyweight's and are people having the power of numbers in the current government. It will be interesting to see how the congress government dare's to bare the dirt within it's own supporters.
The image consultants of Lalit Modi and the bandwagon are working overtime to see that their clients come out clean, but one thing is for sure, the image of IPL has taken a big hit in this entire controversy. But, just as the famous 'spirit of mumbai' of resilience, the spirit of cricket shall keeping breathing in every Indian, and the IPL shall fight back, and fight back with full force, with or without the extra baggage.

I personally see no harm in all the money Modi made... just that he shudnt have handled the Tharoor matter this way. Modi ke saath there are lots more who have made tons of money so thats all cool...
ReplyDeleteThe idea was the money generator...
Yah, the idea is the money generator, thats quite true.... but I guess, the problem here is how has the money been made, in a legal way or illegally... surely, having a proxy stake itself is illegal, so if that is true, he should be brought to justice, as a lot of conflict of interest problems would arise from having a proxy stake....
ReplyDeleteAnother example is the CSK team... the owner of the team -India Cement head.. is also a part of the BCCI, and the next head of BCCI. The brand ambassador of CSK, is Kris Shrikanth(dnt knw y was he made brand ambassador!!;) ), at the same time, Kris Shrikanth is the chief selector of the Indian cricket team under BCCI... thats not all, Kris Shrikanth's son, Anirudha Shrikanth plays for the CSK as well...... too much of a coincidence ..
