Demand For CSK Ban & Tickets

Knowledge

In a strange demand from the PMK MLA in the Tamil Nadu assembly session, he asked for a ban on the CSK IPL team. A PMK MLA SP Venkateswaran on Tuesday spoke in the State Assembly and asked the TN government to ban the Chennai Super Kings team because the team does not have any players from the State, but brands itself as a TN team.

The MLA says, ‘Even though there are talented players in Tamil Nadu, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team has not selected even one player from the State. They are making a profit from our people by advertising as if they are a Tamil Nadu team.’

While this is on one side, the AIADMK MLAs asked for the IPL tickets in the assembly session. Minister for Youth Welfare and Sports Development and youth wing leader of DMK Udayanidhi Stalin gave a witty reply to former minister SP Velumani when the latter asked for IPL tickets for AIADMK MLAs for matches being held in Chennai.

Udayanidhi said, ‘SP Velumani earlier spoke in the Assembly and said the previous regime had given 400 tickets during the matches held at MA Chidambaram Stadium. But for 4 years, there were no matches in the city. I wonder for whom the party bought tickets. For the April 3rd match, I paid for the match tickets for 150 sportspersons from my constituency.’

‘IPL is a professional T20 cricket league established by the BCCI, and Jay Shah, the son of your close friend and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, is the one, who runs the IPL tournament. You need to speak to him (cause he doesn’t listen to us) and request him to buy at least 5 tickets for MLA. We are also ready to buy it with money, said Udayanidhi Stalin in a witty tone.
