BCA infra committee chief quits in a huff

Vadodara: In a setback for the Revival Group in the Baroda Cricket Association, one of its prominent members resigned from his post in a huff on Tuesday. Advocate Kaushik Bhatt stepped down from the post of chairman of BCA’s grounds and infrastructure committee.
He sent a letter to BCA president Pranav Amin announcing his decision.
Bhatt said in the letter that the grounds and infrastructure committee was only a constitutional committee and it has no role to play in the day-to-day affairs of the BCA grounds and infrastructure.
“I along with my fellow members have a strong feeling that we have been neglected and side tracked by the office bearers,” Bhatt wrote in the resignation letter.
“I felt that our committee is being kept out of the loop when it comes to many decisions related to the grounds and even the international cricket stadium. So, I stepped down from the chairman’s post but I will continue as a member of the committee as the BCA members have elected me,” Bhatt, who had contested polls from the Revival Group, said.
Sources in the association said that Bhatt was unhappy as all the decisions related to international cricket stadium and even cricket grounds in the city were taken without informing him.
“BCA signed a MOU for the Polo Ground but Bhatt didn’t even know about it. So, he was miffed as he felt that his post was being treated as merely ornamental,” sources said.
