BCCI Elections Postponed To October 23 Due To Assembly Polls in Haryana, Maharashtra

Both the states will be voting on October 21 in a single-phase election and to ensure that voter members from the two units are not inconvenienced

The much-awaited BCCI elections have been postponed by a day to October 23 in the wake of assembly elections in Haryana and Maharashtra, Chairman of the Committee of Administrators (CoA) Vinod Rai confirmed on Tuesday. Both the states will be voting on October 21 in a single-phase election and to ensure that voter members from the two units are not inconvenienced; the BCCI poll has been postponed by a day. “The BCCI elections are on track. It's just because of the state polls, we have decided to reschedule by a day. So it will now be held on October 23 instead of October 22. Anything else that you read anywhere will be factually incorrect,” CoA chief Rai said. However, other CoA member Diana Edulji said that she was against any delay in conducting the polls but she understands that a day's extension is due to state polls. “As per the Supreme Court order passed on September 20, the state units may be granted a few days' grace but BCCI elections should be on time. We may defer it by a day due to assembly elections in Maharashtra on 21st,” Edulji said. Rai was happy with the outcome of the Supreme Court hearing on Tuesday during which its petition seeking clarification on the permission granted to the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association to hold elections, was admitted. “Today, the petition came up for hearing. The BCCI counsel was there, TNCA counsel and amicus curiae P S Narsimha was there. I am happy with the outcome,” he said. “The SC took cognisance of the fact that some state units are misinterpreting the order mischievously on ‘disqualification being confined to office-bearers only’,” said Rai.
