IPL vs IPL

One fine morning after various rounds discussion with the politicians, the Commissioner of Indian Premium League Mr. Lalit Modi came out and declared that IPL is not gonnu be held in India. What a Shame??? A Country where cricket is considered to be the most popular religion, IPL season is like a carnival for the cricket loving public, especially after the stupendous success it achieved in the inagural edition of the tournament. And this year because of Security reasons they've decided to hold this tournament in a cricket where strangely elections are also due in the same time. But still the South African Cricket board has given the go ahead to conduct this prestigious tournament in their country. The most prominent reason for this is the fact that, it'll generate huge money for them. I'd say just because of sheer politics, India has missed the trick here. Considering the current economic situation, had the IPL been held in India, it wud have been the next stimulus package(There were how many, 2 by the government of india, one in the form a Nano and this wud have been 4th, if i'm right) Just becoz of sheer IPL(read Indian Political League), the actual IPL(Indian Premium League) has to be shifted out of India. This is in no way undervaluing the elections in India. In India, elections take precendence on any given day, even though it doesnt affect the common man in any sense of the word(Be it the BJP, congress or the so called third front or the 100th front, whoever comes to power). The main idea of the Indian Political League was that, they didnt want the people of this country to be happy, when they are actually fighting amongst themselves.....(::).... Lets also experience the new version of IPL(SAPL - South African Premium League) starting tomorrow.....
