- Rajasthan cricket elections: Five political scions enter fray for RCA presidentâs post

Trending

Jaipur: Five sons of prominent politicians filed their nominations on Saturday, the final day of the submission window for the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) executive elections, setting up a heavily contested battle for control of the sports body. Amid intense political maneuvering, over 20 District Cricket Association (DCA) secretaries have reportedly been moved to resort-style retreats as district secretaries hold key voting power and are pushing for a 4-2 power-sharing compromise, letting the BJP high command dictate the top two posts while reserving the remaining four positions for district representatives.Jodhpur DCA president Dhananjai Singh Khimsar, son of current health minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar, and Churu DCA president Parakram Singh Rathore, son of former Leader of Opposition Rajendra Singh Rathore, both submitted their papers for the apex post of president. Their bids anchor a five-way presidential race that also includes former ad hoc panel convener DD Kumawat, Rajesh Saraswat and Brij Kishore Upadhyay.Meanwhile, the strategic inclusion of three newly affiliated district associations could prove decisive in the final outcome, provided the elections proceed past high command consensus.A similar convergence of political family members defines the races for the remaining executive roles.
