Firstpost — www.firstpost.com — Readability

the entire article shows the freaking attitude of BCCI. 😕

Good. Though I am not sure about the source of their funds yet, in terms of pure investment, it doesn't make any financial sense.

sahara has been so freaking nice to bcci in the article. the only thing that came to my mind while reading it was ɟɹǝɐʞıub ɐssɥoןǝs...

 

[volcano619]

Yea "ɟɹǝɐʞıub ɐssɥoןǝs" did enter my mind...!! 😀But...its like "ye ek taraf ki kahanii hai".....what BCCI has to say about this....is this really true...??wow im sounding like a reporter now.. 😕

 

[Sushubh]

bcci is like our government. they usually do not have any logic behind their statements and responses. since they are the presiding body, they do not give a damn. i mean look at the statements made by kapil sibal. they make no freaking sense. swamy has been bajaoing his for a while now. too bad, the ruling party continues to survive on the basis of bullcrap.

It is such a nice gesture from Sahara to pay Yuvraj's fees, knowing fully well that they weren't bound to by any contract to do so. Sahara has always tried to portray this image of a family - their designations have Hindi equivalents akin to members of a household. All said though, the company will go to the dogs after Subrata Roy. Sad considering the dream story he lived.

Does anyone know what is there core business??? They're not a clean company.

 

[agantuk]

^ Finance was their core business until they got rapped. It is currently housing

I seriously dont know. That was the reason why in one of the other threads also i did ask this - where are they getting all this money from? They sponsor Main Indian cricket team (Till now), the Under-19 team, the Women's team, the Hockey team, they also took up that 40 odd % stake in Force India....and what not.
