Accusing Manohar of trying to bat for Kochi during the IPL franchise bid: Whilst you (Manohar) and I were sitting together at the Four Seasons Hotel... on March 6, a representative of Kochi franchise came with the bid and sought to hand it over to me. I declined to accept the same, saying that the deadline was over. You (Manohar) however, asked me to accept it.
On his links with Rajasthan Royals: I have no direct or indirect interest in Rajasthan Royals. Suresh Chellaram (who is related to Modi) is an independent businessman and a man of extensive financial resources.
On TV rights given to Sony-MSM: You (Manohar) were not only aware but also keeping day-to-day track of matters relating to termination of Sony's agreement on March 14, 2009, as also of subsequent litigation with Sony and the settlement. The entire litigation with Sony was directly supervised by Akhila Kaushik who directly takes instructions from you.
Srinivasan's role & ‘conflict of interest': I have sufficient cause to apprehend bias on the past of the honorary secretary (Srinivasan). This stems from the manner in which I have consistently exposed his attempts at misusing his position as BCCI secretary, so as to confer a wrongful benefit to his team (Chennai Super Kings) at the cost and expense of other teams and BCCI.
