Over the last one week, the Delhi and Districts Cricket
Association (DDCA) saw posters of rivals being put up at the entrance gate. One
attacked the Chetan Chauhan-CK Khanna duo while the other in retaliation hit
out at SP Bansal-Sunil Dev-Vinod Tihara.
The DDCA politics has got worse after Chetan Chauhan transferred
an amount close to R7 crore in the Central Bank of India. Mr Chauhan said that
he had to transfer the DDCA money after SP Bansal was caught transferring R1.55
crore of DDCA money to the accounts of private company. However, Sunil Dev, the
sports secretary, who is now with DDCA president Mr SP Bansal lodged a
complaint saying that Chauhan’s act tantamounted to embezzlement as his
signature was not taken for the resolution that allowed money to be deposited
to Central Bank account.
So as of now the amount of R6.7 crore is lying with the
bank with the club subsidies, salaries and ground dues unable to be paid.
This week, a group of directors will approach the bank,
hoping the amount will be released and the dues paid.
Things were expected to get worse as Vinod Tihara, the
convenor of the sports working committee and his fellow officials were supposed
to hold a dharna at the Jantar Mantra on Sunday along with club secretaries.
Now, Mr Tihara is siding with Mr Dev. The account was reportedly frozen at the
behest of this group and they know that the money can’t be withdrawn.
However, the plan fell as a DDCA sports working committee
member Mahesh Bhati organised a successful felicitation ceremony for Mr CK
Khanna, upon his election as one of the five vice-presidents of the BCCI. Mr
Khanna was also elected as the Chairman, Junior Selection Committee. The event saw
67 club secretaries attending the function and applauding Mr Khanna, forcing
the dharna to be cancelled as its backers couldn't find support.
