I think those days may never come.

Because his father has left so many properties and assets, Mallya still can afford do all these type of things.

Just for your idea, one of the road in between M.G.Road and Residency Road is named after his father.

His UB factory which was there on this road has been shifted la carte to outskirts of Bangalore. In that place (which is quite huge & must be costing crores and crores of rupees)he has built such a beautiful buildings (link here) which are going to be the landmark for Bangalore.

This is one of such property. There are so many like this in Bangalore and at other places.

So Vivekji, bad luck

it will do mallyas empire a lot of good if he stops associating himself with ladla.people might be drinking less ROYAL CHALLENGE after looking at the teams performance.this team needs a complete overhaul.
understanding both the power of compound return and the difficulty getting it is the heart and soul of understanding a lot of things

Parivar League

K Shriniwas Rao

Posted online: Sunday, May 11, 2008 at 0015 hrs IST

New Delhi, May 10
When Commissioner Lalit Modi metaphorically describes the Indian Premier League as a "family", he may not be too far off the mark.

Four of the eight teams in the ongoing Twenty20 tournament are owned or managed by individuals with links either with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or with Modi himself.

Consider the following:

•Suresh Chellaram, one of the owners of the Rajasthan Royals through the consortium Emerging Media, is Modi's brother-in-law. "Of course, Suresh Chellaram is Lalit Modi's brother-in-law but that doesn't mean anything," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said, "there is no conflict of interest." The other partners are Lachlan Murdoch and Manoj Badale, who runs the Cricket Star academy in Jaipur. Modi is also president of the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) and the RCA's Future Cricket Academy, which has tied up with Emerging Media to launch Cricket Star T20, a televised nationwide talent hunt, of which former India coach Greg Chappell is also a part.

• One of the owners of Kings XI Punjab is Mohit Burman of the Dabur family. His brother Gaurav, who is based in UK, is Modi's step son-in-law. When contacted, Mohit Burman said: "It's not just me alone, there are three other investors and naturally they won't be putting their money because I am related. The IPL is a good business opportunity and the relationship with Modi is a mere coincidence."

When asked about this, Modi, who is also head of BCCI's marketing committee, said: "So what if Mohit Burman's brother is related to me? He is not a part of the IPL."

• The Kings XI Punjab team's family links with the IPL go further. The team's general manager Amar Bindra is the son of I S Bindra, who is slated to take over as principal advisor to the International Cricket Council (ICC). I S Bindra is a senior BCCI official and a member of the IPL's all-powerful governing council.

"Certainly, the presence of my father has helped me a lot in my endeavour," Amar Bindra told The Sunday Express. "In a way, it's been easy with him around. I'm able to execute my work better. His cricket and management expertise are helping me a lot."

• Bangalore team Royal Challengers is owned by Vijay Mallya, who is also the vice-president of the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) and a member of BCCI's marketing committee. Brijesh Patel, who was appointed CEO of the Royal Challengers after commentator Charu Sharma was sacked, is also KSCA Secretary. Despite several attempts to contact Mallya and Patel, they were unavailable for comment.

• Chennai Super Kings is owned by India Cements, whose vice-chairman and managing director N Srinivasan is the treasurer of BCCI. The local revenue generated from IPL matches is split between the franchisees and the BCCI's state associations on an 80-20 ratio. When asked about the potential conflict of interest, Srinivasan said: "I don't own the team, I'm simply a shareholder. It is India Cements that owns the team. We bid for the team at $91 million and the second-highest bidder came in at $81 million. It was all in the open and so was the the player auction. I'm just helping India Cements where I can."

Given that the IPL franchisees were picked through a closed bidding process and the local revenue generated from IPL matches is split between the franchisees and the BCCI's state cricket associations, don't such links create a potential conflict of interest? Says BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah: "The bidding process was completely clean. There's no question of any conflict of interest.

There is no problem if franchisees have close ties in the governing council."

Then there are other lesser-known family ties:

• Delhi Daredevils captain Virender Sehwag's brother Vinod is a manager with the team.

• Kolkata Knight Riders coach John Buchanan's son Steve is the same team's strength-trainer.

• Hyderabad Cricket Association Secretary Shivlal Yadav's son Arjun Yadav plays for Deccan Chargers. Arjun Yadav is a regular fixture in the Hyderabad Ranji team.

• Chennai Super Kings brand ambassador Kris Srikkanth's son Aniruddha Srikkanth plays for Chennai. Much like his father, Aniruddha is an attacking opening batsman who made his first-class debut in the 2003-04 season as a 16-year-old.

Bangalore has lost again.........i think the referee should stop these matches and give a walkover to the other team in all future matches where RC is involved......its looking cruel nowadays. You have to be really crafty to lose matches while boasting of such heavyweights, and ladla is quite craftly we all know that.

Why r u blaming him for the debacle of RC....with players like Kallis-Misbah-Boucher-Chanderpaul-Steyn-Zaheer....its mere badluck.......& remember cricket is a team game ......

Agreed.

I too dont feel that Dravid should be blamed for the losses. The team is quite good with players like Misbah-Kallis-Boucher-Steyn. It is just that the combination hasn't clicked. Dravid has been very unlucky in this series.

The more it changes, the more it’s the same thing.
