Launching a scathing attack on CoA members Vinod Rai and Diana Edulji, BCCI secretary Amitabh Choudhary today asked how can all the powers rest in the hands of "two individuals" in a democratic set-up. The CoA and the BCCI office-bearers (with support of state units) have been engaged in an ugly shadow battle with the Supreme Court-appointed Committee not ready to involve the latter in policy making decisions leading to a lot of acrimony.

The latest bone of contention is the SGM scheduled in the national capital on June 22, which the CoA is trying to veto having issued instructions to not entertain any invoices (airfare, TA/DA) raised by the officials. The CoA in its letter had raised seven-point objection stating that BCCI's general body no longer has the monopoly to take decisions.
