| Former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi insists that BCCI chief N Srinivasan must resign in the wake of his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan's arrest on charges of betting. Speaking to NDTV's Rahul Joglekar, Mr Modi also alleged that Mr Srinivasan bent rules to get the ownership of Chennai Super Kings and demanded that the IPL franchise be eliminated from the league. Mr Srinivasan's India Cements owns Chennai Super Kings; Mr Modi insists that his son-in-law Mr Meiyappan is its actual owner.
Here's the transcript of an excerpt from the interview:
Rahul Joglekar: Mr. Lalit Modi, what is your reaction to Gurunath Meiyappan's arrest?
Lalit Modi: I am extremely disappointed and hurt by the fact that this is happening right now. For me an owner getting involved in betting, forget fixing, just betting, it's totally unbelievable. There should be no leniency if that be the case. Mr. Srinivasan should immediately resign, if not resign he should be thrown out, immediately. And all those who have allowed him to do what he has done, they have to take moral responsibility, not only moral responsibility, their co-conspirators, they need to resign too. And I am very clear about the fact that if we don't take the poison out of the system, the poison is only going to slowly grow and grow and grow and this will be the ruining of a beautiful game called cricket.
Rahul Joglekar: Sir but a lot of people say that why should Mr. N Srinivasan resign? I mean what is the reason behind you calling for his resignation?
Lalit Modi: Mr. Srinivasan owns the team. Mr. Gurunath is his son-in-law. Nothing happens in the BCCI without Mr. Srinivasan knowing or in the IPL or in the ICC as a matter of fact without the stamp of Mr. Srinivasan.
Rahul Joglekar: So you are saying categorically that Mr. Srinivasan owns the team?
Lalit Modi: I categorically say that. Very clearly I know he owns the team. I know the rules that have been bent by him...to change...to get the ownership. Very clearly,
