Kochi IPL controversy is going worse, the latest being the death threats for Tharoor.
Being a die hard cricket fan and also a Keralite, I'm still backing Shashi Tharoor. Without his timely coordination and involvement, IPL would have been only in dreams for Kerala. I'm not bothered if Tharoor has any financial plans behind his actions, he certainly made it to bring the IPL to his own state even though majority of share holders are not from Kerala. There goes a great effort from Tharoor. Even if Tharoor is in for money, we should not neglect the fact that Kerala will get maximum benefit from IPL. Kochi will get a facelift with more international recognition and Kerala players will be rubbing shoulders with Tendulkars, Gibbs and Gilchrists.
Modi may be right is tweeting the names shareholders, but then he has to tweet for all teams and all shareholders. God only Knows, who has shares in which all teams – may be even the underworld Dons ill be in the list. Sometimes, Modi's intentions may be bad , who knows he want to take out IPL out of Kochi and grant to another state for his own personal benefit.
Anyway, I'm with Tharoor, only because he brought it to Kerala – the IPL!
