Although it was an informal meeting yesterday by certain BCCI members to discuss the implementation of the Lodha Committee reforms, indications are that state units have been urged to do away with their resistance. Many state units attended the meeting called by Rajeev Shukla and secretary Amitabh Chaudhary, except Maharashtra Cricket Association and Vidarbha CA as they have already adopted the reforms.
However, the state units' presence didn't guarantee their vote in favour of the Lodha reforms. It is learnt that BCCI senior members urged state units to accept reforms as it will help them take total control and end the rule of Supreme Court-appointed Committee Of Administrators. But many units are not accepting suggestions like the cooling off period, one-state one-vote, inclusion of the Working Committee in the Apex Council and segregating powers between Secretary and CEO. "We will file an affidavit in the Supreme Court stating that these clauses need a rethink," said a BCCI source. Some felt senior BCCI members should first adopt reforms in their own units. "Charity begins at home. The seniors have to lead by example," said one BCCI member.
