Its a fact that we never even dreamt of having an IPL team for Kerala. We were shocked when we heard the news about the Kerala IPL team. But, before even it took form, controversies began. All types of dramas were associated with it. Sasi Tharoor lost his minsistership, Lalit Modi was thrown out his chairman position, sweat equity share controversy of Sunantha Pushkar, and what not, the controversies never really stopped.
Yesterday, news came out that Kochi team has been terminated from the IPL due to breach of contract. Kochi IPL died. But, who murdered it? BCCI? Its owners?
BCCI has been utmost patient with this team. But, at the end, they lost the patience and terminated them, the cause being the non payment of bank guarantee of Rs155 crores by its owners. There had been lack of coordination and little battles going on within the owners from the time this consortium was formed. But, are they to be blamed for this termination? We must rewind things a bit.
Cochin and Kerala, as a state, dreamt a lot.With the formation of this IPL team, Kerala could have gained a lot, economically. Things could have got far better in the area of tourism. We could have gained lot more foreign exchange. There would have been lot more job opportunities and entrepreneurship projects. Morover, cricket in Kerala would have got a huge boost. Who spoilt everything? The party ruling Cochin Municipality, under the leadership of Mayor! When other states were competing to provide incentives for IPL teams, Kochi did everything to spoil it. They charged a huge amount as Entertainment Tax. They dint seal the match tickets in time to sell. They created all types of new laws and constraints to harm them. As a result of all these, the owners had to increase the ticket charge, which most people couldn't afford, and it reflected in the number of audience.
Do you know what was the reason behind this? The owners did not give 'SUFFICIENT' COMPLEMENTARY TICKETS to the 'honourable'(?) Mayor and other Corporation authorities. They provided them with enough tickets, but the authorities were never really satisfied. And they harmed Kochi IPL and the dreams of Kerala in whatever they could.
The owners suffered a loss of Rs125crores in the initial year. They had had enough of Kochi and Congress, ruling the corporation, which 'helped' them a lot. The owners were desperately trying to escape from their hands with a change of venue, which was a bit complicated. And atlast, now, we hear that Kochi Tuskers Kerala has been terminated.
CONGRESS HAS SUCCEEDED.... KOCHI TUSKERS HAS BEEN MURDERED!!!!
