Our cricketers are otherwise also earning huge money through advertisements, normal match-fees and now proven match-fixing. BCCI and IPL should be made autonomous public-sector companies accountable to Comptroller &amp; Auditor General (CAG) of India, and answerable as public-authority under Right-To-Information (RTI) Act also because these get enormous public-resources like land, security etc highly subsidized and\/or nil costs.<\/p>\n<p>Like private-hospitals cut a large chunk of doctors\u2019 fees for their visits to hospitals, Union Sports Ministry with a control on IPL and BCCI as autonomous public-sector companies, should deduct at least 60-percent of auction and award money from cricketers\u2019 accounts. Accumulation of wealth in selected hands (like cricketers) earned by a national public craze is not proper especially in a country where farmers are committing suicides for want of money.<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUBHASH CHANDRA AGRAWAL(Guinness Record Holder &amp; RTI Activist) Delhi Police deserves all compliments for exposing match-fixing in Indian Premier League (IPL).
