Defiant Joshi faction to hold EGM tomorrow

The crisis in Rajasthan Cricket Association continues as a defiant CP Joshi faction is is set to hold its EGM tomorrow despite RCA general secretary Sumendra Tiwari declaring the meeting as cancelled.
The 18 of the 33 District Cricket Associations which have claimed to have suspended president Lalit Modi and top three office bearers, announced that they would go ahead with the EGM as scheduled.
"We are moving the court and plead that once the election process is rolled on it cannot be stopped. Moreover it should be the call of the election officer to take a decision. How RCA is guiding them? How the general secretary can call off the EGM in which elections were to take place? questioned an official from Joshi faction.

"We would plead in the court that the election process should not be stopped and it should appoint new election officer and issue a fresh date for polls. Meanwhile, we would go ahead with the EGM and constitute a five-member committee to look after the affairs of RCA since top four officials have already suspended in an EGM on Monday. We have the majority and we would prove it in the EGM," he added.
Modi faction, however, rubbished the claims of suspension of its office bearers.
With top lawyers at work, Modi has already approached the Apex Court against the decision of Registrar who had not ratified the amendments in the constitution of RCA.

"We are heading back to the days when RCA office was put under locks. We want to let these office bearers fight among themselves. The elections are due in coming November and before that we have to play our domestic season. The BCCI should continue with the same arrangement and let us play under the name of Team Rajasthan," said a dejected state cricketer.
