Lalit Modi blames Srinivasan for Sahara mess

Suspended IPL chief Lalit Modi slammed BCCI president N Srinivasan for Sahara India's decision to end its sponsorship deal and also to pull out from the Pune franchise of the IPL.

"Sahara termination shows how unhappy the major sponsor and franchise owner is with the way BCCI deals with its partners.

"This is really a sad day. Sahara has been sports' biggest supporter and pillar," Modi tweeted on social networking site Twitter. "It's a black day for Indian cricket. All due to one ego maniac. Wonder how we allow that to continue," he added.
