True colours of some aged ministers

The stiff resistance from some aged Union ministers, who happen to head the sports organisation especially Cricket under BCCI, that faced the National Sports Bill in Union Cabinet and ultimately rejected shows the true colours of some senior cabinet ministers. It clearly reflects that despite whipping up of politicians in general and ministers in particular during the Anna campaign against corruption, they have learnt nothing. Their deceptive action is sure to invite more public wrath in recent days.
Union Sports Minister Ajay Maken had no intention to put Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the Government control. The Bill only intends the accounting of the BCCI to be made public under RTI as it avails facility provided by the Government of India.
The Union Sports Minister has rightly hit out at the BCCI that the People have every right to know how it uses Cricket ground as the venue of the match in different cities of India and how it get the players to play at home or abroad as the Cricket Team of India. That is why BCCI must be accountable to the nation.
The question here does not ariseof putting BCCI under Government control that some ministers associated with BCCI and other state cricket organisations and other sports organisations need to fear of stripping off their privilege and perks that they continue to enjoy and get their political interests served. The Bill only intends to make BCCI accountable to the nation. And this is nothing wrong.
As far as the Bill puts an age bar of 70, what wrong is there with it? When every public servant except the politicians have age limit to retire, what is the problems with politicians associated with sports bodies. The Bill envisages 25 percent seats for former players in the administration of sports bodies. There is no wrong with it as it make the administration amenable to the players.
Senior ministers like Sharad Pawar, Farooq Abdullah, C P Joshi, Vilarao Deshmukh, Praful Patel and others were reportedly seen very vocal against Bill in the Cabinet that led to its failure to clear National Sports Bill. Its primary aim is to regulate the functioning of BCCI, which has so far been unbridled with the blessings of some powerful politicians.
