Pawar-ful Families

Money has been incessantly flowing in the IPL League like the underground sewers of Black Money. Lil doubt that the valuations of IPL has doubled to over $4 bn, much more than the GDP of Zimbabwe or Fiji or Guinea.

The IPL's Big Brother attitude of avoiding the media to use its clips and photos or under excessive regulation went a classic U-turn when the Lalit Modi- Shashi Tharoor controversy broke out giving the Media a free hand to shave off their heads in public. What regulation now???

While the controversy opened a Pandora's Box, Modi and Tharoor were the first two Pandas to be ousted, and our proxy Cricket Minister Sharad Pawar feigned massive ignorance of having anything to do with any bidding. And contrary to many others also expressing similar views just yesterday Times of India portrayed the Husband, wife and Daughter as direct stakeholders of over 16% in the failed bidders list. Much more than the 4% Tharoor's girlfriend had. Still no word from the Congress about his removal, as of course he is an Ally

While in the past, politicians have compared oranges and apples to explain their screwed theories, now instead comparing Tharoor as an apple and Pawar as a bigger apple requiring same treatment, they prefer calling him something smaller like a red strawberry.

The father-daughter duo have still stuck to their stand that the MD of City Corporation, Aniruddha Deshpande bid in his personal capacity in the co. name. So he bid in his own capacity, using company funds without telling its owners? He will be kicked for 2 years in jail if thats the case according to the Companies Act.

It's not really a surprise that Pawar was involved in some way in the politics and economics of IPL. But by vehemently denying it he was behaving like a hairy man dressed as a drag queen saying "I am a women." Now that the wig has fallen and bald head is exposed he still claims he is a Woman. Sheesshhh.

The final outcome will certainly depend on need of coalition politics (90%), clean probe by investigators (3%), ability to silence the investigators (7%). Whatever be it, he just got another excuse to stay away from his agriculture ministry.
