I have decided to quit as I.P.L. Chairman. It is a decision which I was pondering over for some time.

I was given the task of I.P.L. Chairmanship which I tried to perform to the best of my abilities. The tournament was organised well despite all the controversies. The stadiums were jam-packed, which proved that I.P.L. was still popular.

Misdeeds of a few players and certain people cannot and should not bring bad name to hundreds of players who participated in the I.P.L. with full honesty. The reputation of the I.P.L. cannot be tarnished by a few greedy individuals.

I don't do negative things.

I don't try to hurt people in any way, and I try to help out wherever I can.

Having been a journalist for almost 20 years and then becoming a politician has definitely been an interesting and enriching experience for me.
