The elections are being held in five stages mainly to manage the security problems in a proper way. Security agencies will be hard pressed during the entire election process. As a journalist, I have covered many elections and I have been witness to the thankless job the police and para military forces do during polls. Aren't we fully aware of the violence during elections and the blood booth capturing that goes on routinely in certain pockets.

Am too closely associated with IPL in their creative work functioning and this strong review of Mr. Srinivasan to me looks just the one side of the coin.
IPL was successful not just in changing many lives, infusing a fresh enthusiasm in our players but also it gave work to so many agencies, consultants and people associated with this country's one of the biggest events ever held.
From the agency business perspective if you ponder on it, in such difficult times of economic downturn, wherein the advertisers market has completely dried, at least IPl came to all as a reviving and good news because most of the big spending companies have cut down drastically their yearly advertising budgets only to keep safe some special allocations to be spent on advertising during IPL for their brand building exercises. Which is a good news.
It's one of the case that elections are coinciding with the IPL dates and being security of the nation too a priority, it's the time when our government needs to play a vital role in providing a viable solution to it instead of treating these two events as options to each other in isolation.
Difficult situations requires handling and providing solutions in an appropriate way. Shying away from the problems is not always the right strategy. I hope our government would show some good management skills this time !!

Subject: Re: [prpoint] Is India Premier League (IPL) greedy to earn money risking the Nation's security?
Dear Mr Srinivasan,
Im saddened to see your view on this matter. As a representative of one of IPL Franchises, I think its an incorrect position to take.

dear friends
It is a sad event that Srilankan cricketers were targetted by Pak terrorists. When India is going to face the world's biggest democratic exercise, i.e. General Elections during April and May, IPL is not willing to postpone the matches, inspite of the request from the Union Home Minister.
Already, more than 21 lakhs of security forces like police, para military forces are going to be drawn by Election Commission. This is in addition to the security arrangements involving many lakhs of police forces during the Election Campaign, throughout India.
In addition, the Government has the responsibility of maintaining the law and order and securing the borders during this strainful days.
I donot know why IPL is particular about going ahead with the matches. If they plan the matches, then the Governments have to provide more protection to the matches also, deploying heavy security personnel.
In these days when India is facing acute risk of terrorism, a common man does not understand why IPL should be greedy to earn crores and crores of money, putting other billion innocent citizens to risk. Every body knows, that General Elections would be held in April and May. IPL should have planned well in advance, avoiding these two months.
There is a limit for greediness. Our enthusiam to watch the cricket, should not put the entire Nation to risk. Nation's security is supreme than few billionaires earning further billions.
