BCCI President ‘Sharad POWER’ issued a statement yesterday refuting claims that the World cup ticket sale had turned into a scam involving black-marketers and rowdies and that the common man was left with nowhere to go.
He said, “It’s not the money we are concerned about. We only have the interests of the common man as our foremost concern. Cricket is a game meant for the general public in India. We want every Indian to enjoy cricket. That’s why we broadcast it on TV. People can sit at home and enjoy the game in the relative comforts of their living room. Plus they get to watch all the lovely commercials and listen to Arun Lal’s commentary.
We don’t want them to sit in the stadiums and suffer in the sweltering summer heat. In fact, that’s precisely why we are giving away the tickets to rowdies and goondas. It will be a good punishment for them. We want to do our bit to reduce crime-rates in our country.”
He also said that one of the C’s in BCCI stands for “Common Man”, even though the other one stands for “Corruption”.
