Ballotin: Dhumal bending rules for son: Birender

AICC General Secretary and in-charge for Himachal Pradesh Birender Singh on Wednesday alleged that in the name of cricket and due to love for his son, Anurag Thakur, Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal has bent rules to favour the BCCI. " It has been father, son and cricket all the way in the past five year BJP rule in Himachal," he said. Asserting that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is a private organisation, Birender said: "If the BCCI can give funds for stadium construction, why can't it foot the bill for land? Under the garb of the stadium, the Dhumal government has bought land from the poor, which is illegal."
