We all have one vote to exercise that right, responds Vinod Rai after Diana Edulji's partiality claims

In an interview with Indian Express, Edulji had claimed that her statements are always on the minority and shared her displeasure by saying the other two CoA members think her to be too junior a person who doesn't know much about cricket administration. Now, since there are three members in the CoA, 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 is the norm of the CoA, which made her deeply frustrated. However, Vinod Rai, the Committee of Administrators chief, has hit back at his colleague's remark by saying everyone has equal rights in the committee.

"We all have the right to give our views and we all have one vote to exercise that right. It's all equally divided. In that case, it doesn't matter how the final decision is reached, whether it is 2-1 or 3-0," Rai told Cricbuzz.

Edulji had claimed that CoA had allowed three states - Bihar, Uttarakhand and Odisha - an extension to register their constitution, while the same luxury was not afforded to the likes of TNCA, HCA and MCA, who have been barred from the BCCI elections. However, Rai deferred the claims by saying everyone was given one date.

"They were given the same extension like every other association to comply with the reforms and have their constitutions registered. The last date for all associations was the same," Rai said.
