Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jaywant Lele on Friday attacked Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Chirayu Amin in connection with the recent Income Tax survey at the latter's company. Lele said Amin should resign from his post as he too had indulged in financial irregularities like his predecessor Lalit Modi. Amin is also president of Baroda Cricket Association (BCA).
Lele argued that he was thrown out of BCA on false charges of financial irregularities years ago and none of them have been proved. "I was thrown out of BCA by Amin on false charges and my membership too was cancelled. Now, the IT department has found irregularities worth Rs 100 crore in his company Alembic and asked him to pay Rs 20 crore. Shouldn't Amin resign from his post in BCA and IPL?" questioned Lele.
Lele was ousted from BCA secretary's post in 2002 and he has been at loggerheads with the association since then. "He holds such high post and hence is accountable to the nation. I will write a letter to BCCI president Shashank Manohar in next couple of days and ask him to take necessary steps in the matter," Lele said.
