How Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is responsible for the current farmer’s plight in Maharashtra? No one knows it. Then why it became mandatory to move 13 India Premier League (IPL) games out of the state? Well, it is the sensitivity of the issue which left no option to the IPL. Years long water crisis in the state made the IPL to take onus and do its bit for the communal cause Rajabandot.
While relocation of the IPL games is acceptable for many but for the BCCI and its stakeholders it is not less than a nightmare. In fact, this order that has been passed by the Supreme High Court is going to bring serious economic losses to the franchises. On ethical grounds, it is quite unfair to give two weeks ultimatum to the IPL stakeholders for the relocation, especially when the court has allowed IPL 2016 to go as scheduled in Mumbai. BCCI being the world’s most powerful board has to provide its franchises the comfortable solutions who have invested in the IPL.
As per the BCCI, water utility in the IPL will hardly make a difference to the extensive drought scenario in the Maharashtra. Since, it is not about making the difference but showing concern and making some efforts to stand up for the cause. Here, BCCI has definitely gone wrong in dealing with the situation. It could have projected itself as the responsible national entity by contributing significant sum for dealing with existing water crisis or water harvesting. In short, this was the golden opportunity for BCCI to improve its thrashed image when Supreme Court has passed allegations on BBCI for being socially irresponsible.
How this incident is now going to affect the BCCI in future? Will people continue to blame BCCI for state’s water crisis or it would be just another sensational story that magically disappears from the news? It’s difficult to answer these questions right now but one lesson that BCCI should learn from this experience is to be independent of external sources. Had it been self suffice in water, it would have never been questioned by its critic.
