New Delhi: Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman and commissioner Lalit Modi put up a defiant front Saturday, saying he will not resign despite pressure mounting for his head.
Modi has been in the eye of a storm following his comments on the Kochi franchise which resulted in the resignation of junior foreign minister Shashi Tharoor.
“People pressurising me to resign – I can tell you, (it) will not happen. Let them remove me then,” Modi tweeted.
“What we have done has been there for all of you to see for the past 4 years. No one can take that away.”
Modi also lashed out at media for carrying “baseless stories” about IPL.
“Media putting stories without verification, goes to show how media can misuse their power. Don’t get influenced by all these baseless stories.”
