CAB Finds Its Guardian Again, The NEW President Is Former Captain Sourav Ganguly

There's no doubt that the eligible heir to the President's chair of CAB at this point of time is none but our own Dada, Sourav Ganguly. And that's why, the news of his appointment as the new CAB chief stirs so much of happiness in Bengal as well as the nation. The celebrated and probably the most successful among the Indian captains till date, Sourav Ganguly is a "Dada", in the truest sense of the term.

Following the death of the former and the most successful CAB chief of the time, Jagmohan Dalmiya, there had been so much of uncertainty on choosing the most eligible successor. However, the suspense ends with Bengal's CM Mamata Banerjee (with the graceful presence of the CAB officials) announcing Sourav Ganguly as the new President.

During this phase, there's been another development with Dalmiya's son replacing Sourav Ganguly as one of the two joint secretaries of CAB. However, the other joint secretary Biswarup Dey will continue as treasurer.

Regarding the announcement, Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee has said that she never wanted to come in the decision of the CAB, which is a sovereign body and had all the reins in their own hand, However, she finds herself fortunate while announcing the name of the new CAB President. At the same time she has also said that there was no political intervention in the CAB's decision.
During the splendid evening following the announcement, the CM along with the interim sports minister Arup Biswas has said, " We are going through a big crisis after his (Dalmiya) unfortunate death. Someone has to head CAB. Dalmiya loved cricket so much. So it's important that the people closed to him (should run the show)... cricket family is most important. My only request to all of you that be together, remain united and take the Jaguda's legacy forward." 

After all this hullaballoo following the announcement, the 43-year-old Ganguly said on his part, "Anything in life is a new challenge. I am particularly happy that Avishek is coming into administration as it is a very emotional time for him. Myself, Biswarup, Subir would all work together and there won't be any problems. We have 117 (actually 121) members and we will decide the way forward."

However, such a scenario puts Dalmiya junior as a big gainer as he managed to get into a respectable position in this whole episode, even without having the least of the knowledge. Such a decision was likely to create quite a big controversy, however it was subdued following the government's intervention. Banerjee said that "After Dalmiya's demise, the CAB needed a guardian and hence these decisions have been taken till the association's elections in July, 2016."

As for the other joint secretary Subir Ganguly, he ius quite happy with the decision. He said, "We all are really happy and more so because we could bring Abhishek to the cab cricket administration."

Cricket Loses One Of Its Finest Administrator On Sunday Evening

"He wanted to go back home after recovery", said DR. Anil Mishra, the doctor who was shouldering the responsibility of treating Jagmohan Dalmiya, the finest of the administrators, Cricket has ever got.  The demise of the 75 year old, the veteran Cricket Boss, thus leaves an unfathomable void in the Cricket world forever. An opener during his stint as a club cricketer, Jagmohan Dalmiya has carried his bat through till the last breath. 

An optimistic soul, this man has never learned to leave battlefield without trying his potential.  No wonder, he is the only reason behind Indian Cricket acquiring a glare of limelight in the international panorama.  

Following his complain of chest pain and breathing troubles, Dalmiya was rushed to the BM Birla Heart Research Centre at around 9 pm on Thursday night. Though doctors monitored his progress throughout, his condition deteriorated on Sunday. As the news of his admission spreads, former India captain Sourav Ganguly also rushed to the from his Behala residence. West Bengal's minister in-charge of sports Arup Biswas also rushed to the hospital as soon as he came across the news.

"He was responding to treatment but became unstable in the morning. Our medical board decided to conduct an angioplasty late afternoon. He was stabilized but after that there was a massive gastrointestinal haemorrhage which led to a lot of bleeding. He succumbed to the bleeding at 8.45pm," said Dr Mishra,  a  leading  doctor of the  medical  team formed for Mr. Dalmiya. In his official medical bulletin,  he has confirmed of two stents that were planted in his heart.

During his stint of 36 years with BCCI, he  carries out the responsibility of the Treasury of the Organization since 1983 and later, he was instrumental in helping India host the 1987 and 1996 World Cups. In due course, he was promoted to the seat of President in 1997. Dalmiya is survived by his wife, his son Abhishek and a daughter.

However, the  sudden  and tragic demise of Jagmohan  Dalmiya seems to create a permanent void in  the  Cricket.  He is a leader in the true sense of the term and surely one of his  kind that mother India has ever produced.  At this unfortunate juncture of time,  the  most important question that seeks  to  A very important question that is making rounds now is who will be the most eligible successor of Mr. Jagmohan Dalmiya for the post of the BCCI president.

According to the BCCI constitution, when a President's post is vacated halfway during his stint "the secretary shall within 15 days convene a Special General Body Meeting to elect the President who shall be nominated by at least one Full Member from the zone which proposed the name of the President whose term was cut short prematurely. Such person who is so elected shall hold office till the next elections."

However, it's time to wait with our eager eyes to see the successor.

The BJP Joined Mr Manjhi In Bihar, Raged A Section Of The Party

The BJP government seems to have introduced outstanding developments in the state of Bihar, as is evident from the distribution of "mithai" among each other. On account of successfully completing the major milestone in terms of their alliance in Bihar they celebrate by feeding sweets to each other.

However, Chirag Paswan of LIP has said about the shock that he was in following the way the government has divided up the seats for election that is going to commence from the next month. "Our cadres expressed their surprise, we were not given what we had been told," replied Mr Paswan, when asked about his reaction about this. As a matter of fact his father, Ram Vilas Paswan, is already a union minister. According to the Chirag Paswan, his party will always remain "united", in every situation, no matter what happens. In this scenario, if his party decides to allocate seats to another partner, Jitan Ram Manjhi, they might have some reason. In addition, he is reportedly being assured by other leading BJP leaders that any concerns regarding this issue will be addressed.

History reveals that the BJP has always won the unwavering support of the upper caste voters in Bihar. For this upcoming election, where the party is all set to relocate Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister their immediate support goes to Mr Paswan and Mr Manjhi, as they are the ones with enough influence as the Dalit leaders and at the same time have competing claims of popularity.

Yesterday, when Mr Manjhi was 20 seats after he rejected a smaller portion, Mr Paswan was alloted 40 seats considering his popularity in the region. In earlier negotiations, as sourced from the BJP interiors, Mr Manjhi had reportedly said that Mr Paswan is being over-compensated. Manjhi has added that he did not win a single seat in the last Bihar election and that's the reason why party is doing all these in his favour. On the BJP Party's front, it's being said that BJP government is doing that in favour of the party. Quite obviously, the BJP has kept 160 seats for itself, while allocating 23 to Upendra Kushwaha, a leader of the Koeri backward caste.

Such an act on BJP's part is seriously commendable as they are putting up a formidable competition by taking on the trio of Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar, the current CM of Bihar is all set to serve the state for three terms consecutively. However, BJP is trying to put up a tough competition to him.

As for the BJP's latest trump card, Mr. Manjhi, hails from one of the most backward caste of Dalits or Mahadalits. Later, he became the leader of Mr Kumar's party and promoted as the Chief Minister, while Mr Kumar took responsibility for his party's catastrophic result in the parliamentary elections in Bihar. Mr Manjhi was excluded then who then set out to found his own party.

However, after all turmoil, the BJP has joined hands with Mr. Manjhi and his party in Bihar for some productive results in the upcoming election.

The Modi Government Is Resorting To Sports To Curb Radical Politics In Kashmir

In spite of being such a scenic beauty, the paradise of the Earth Kashmir is infested by terrorist attack

and the repeated display of extremist attacks in order to be a separate Islamic state. However, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has adopted wonderful measure to deal with the growing threats. The NaMo government is now turning to sports to keep radical elements at bay.

Modi's take on curbing the radical politics on the demand of separate Islamic state in Kashmir indeed demands appreciation, but, it's difficult to say how far it will reap positive results. The main objective to incorporate sports for dealing with the extreme situation is to keep young men away from getting into radical politics and spoil their life.

In order to implement this measure at the earliest the Home Minister Rajnath Singh chaired a meeting ten days ago with the Sports Minister. Sources said, during the meeting the former has strongly emphasized the part of involving the young folks of Kashmir in sports. And for this purpose, they have almost created a plan to prepare a comprehensive strategy, so that the youngsters in Kashmir can take active part in the same.

As per the decision, the NaMo Government has already walked an extra mile to improve the conditions of different stadia across the state.Several measures have also been adopted to deal with the training facilities in the state with utmost efficiency. And the best of all is the proposal for putting up talent hunts and competitions across the length and breadth of the state, so that the local talent can be extensively involved.

According to the Sports ministry, such a revolutionary step on the government's part is indeed the need of the hour. Sports not only will keep them away from getting into radical politics, but can also imbibe the spirit of brotherhood among the youngsters. It's a way to make them think that they are not separate and that they are the indispensable part of the United nation called India. 

It's been decided in the meeting that sports and similar activities in the state will give them a good exposure and at the same time they will be able to participate at national sporting events.

"This will help these youngsters from Kashmir explore the rest of their country and will help in integrating," said a senior government official.

Considering the present socio-political condition of Kashmir, it's been deemed that sports is certainly a good way to connect with and engage the young people. And the Modi government is all set to adopt this approach with a positive note.

Sangakkara Bids Adieu To The International Cricket

It seems, Sri Lanka's batting hero Kumar Sangakkara has no qualms about his approaching

retirement, says reports. Sangakkara, The veteran cricketer of the Sri Lankan squad is turning 38 in October and is going to end his international career soon.  And he is left with simply two Test matches of the three-match series signed against India that's going to start on Galle on Wednesday.

Kumar Sangakkara, the left-hander, is one of the most revered cricketer in the history of test cricket. He is also the leading run-getter among those still playing.in an  interview  38 year old Sangakkara said "37-year-old Rangana Herath in the Sri Lankan team and Surrey team-mate Gareth Batty, also 37, were the only ones who matched me in age.  The rest are mostly 26," he said. "I feel like a dinosaur in their company. It convinced me this was the right time to go."

Sangakkara, who has so far been the most dependable member of the Sri Lankan squad is still holding the fifth position in the all-time scorers list headed by India's Sachin Tendulkar.

Needless to say, 12,305 runs and 38 centuries by the cricketer is far exceeding the second-placed Alastair Cook of England, who has only 9,223 runs and 27 hundreds to his credit. Defying his age, Sangakkara has proved himself best with his excellent feats over the past year. His recent hits include 203 against New Zealand in January, after scoring a sweeping double century against Pakistan and 319 against Bangladesh last year.

And what's more! Sangakkara became the first batsman to hit four consecutive one-day centuries in the World Cup in Australia in February-March, following which Sri Lanka entered into the quarter-finals.

In an interview Sangakkara said, "The reason for the two and two split, even though it is not ideal, was the agreement I had with the previous selection committee when I was discussing my future." He also added, "I had plans to retire immediately after the World Cup, but they wanted me to try and play a bit more Test cricket. Four Tests was all I could offer them and they were okay with that."

He has also said that delaying his retirement plans would be nothing but delaying the future of some other potential players. Though, it will be quite a tough time for the Sri Lankans team to carry out without such a cricketer, but they have full respect for the Sangakkara's  decision.
