February 07, 2012 15:21

Sahara will continue to support the Pune IPL team, but there is no question of sponsoring the Indian cricket team, Sahara chief Subrata Roy tells CNN-IBN in an exclusive Interview with Rajdeep Sardesai.

Excerpts:

On reconciliation with the BCCI:

"I cant say at this stage. We have to appreciate one thing; we have already announced a huge plan for social work including development of sports which will involve thousand crores of rupees.

I have nothing against anybody. I also have an open mind and have several concerns...First concern is that our players this year should not be deprived of playing IPL.

This is really bad for them. It is important that they should play. I have already requested BCCI to get them in any organisation so that they can play in this IPL also."
