Ipl Drought Controversy

A petition has been filed in Kanpur over Gujarat Lions' two Indian Premier League matches in the city, despite water shortage

Anurag Thakur has said that the members of the Indian Premier League governing council are likely to give a thought on whether the 2017 edition can be played abroad. He added that a lot will depend on the availability of venues and prevailing conditions.

Indian Premier League has been amidst controversies ever since it began in 2008. From spot fixing to drought crisis, Preity Zinta feels the problems have affected the Twenty20 tournament.

Following the controversy over watering grounds to host IPL matches in drought-hit Maharashtra, a city-based college student has launched an online petition for judicious use of water and has received over 12,000 signatures so far.

As the sixth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) kicks off today, political pitch over hosting its matches in drought-hit Maharashtra has been growing. IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla, who is also the Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, slammed the BJP saying the party is raising a controversy against the IPL on 'unnecessary grounds'.
