<img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/jun/dilli.jpg" align="left" border="0" />Unless India cricket team lifts the World Cup, or even if they do, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) may have the government springing a nasty surprise on the currently reigning cricket czars. The parliamentary standing committee on finance headed by former finance minister Yashwant Sinha has submitted a report in the House, which indicts members of BCCI's general council for flouting tax laws while routing surplus funds it made in South Africa during the second season of IPL to India. Ever since the IPL mess, BCCI honchos were evidently happy to dump all the alleged financial misdemeanors at ousted IPL commissioner Lalit Modi's door.u00a0 But clearly Sinha and his fellow MPs have not bought the line being peddled by the BCCI brass. They believe that Modi's decisions taken on behalf of IPL had the weight of the general council and general body of BCCI, a stand that the currently disgraced Modi has consistently held. The heat may now well be on his detractors in the cricket board to come clean. It's a googly they cannot afford to duck. Crawling capital Driving on Dilli's roads is a nightmare whenever Parliament is in session. It is a magnet for all kinds of protesters who wish to exercise their democratic right to dissent in the form of rowdy rallies and disruptive dharnas etc. While these activities may be focused around Parliament House and central Delhi, their spidery impact is felt across the capital. The present Budget session which got underway last week has already provided Dilliwalas with several occasions to get stuck for hours, miss important appointments or abandon travel plans etc. And remember, the budget session is usually the longest one in the calendar! And from the way politics is heating up in Parliament, relief from curb-crawling seems a shimmering mirage.
