June 03, 2013 22:22

The BCCI meet at Chennai was "more perfectly fixed" than any IPL match because it was done "not by the bookies, but by the bosses", Congress spokesman Shakil Ahmed said today, amid criticism of the cricket body's functioning.

"People say the BCCI meet in Chennai was more perfectly fixed than any IPL match because it was done not by the bookies but by the bosses," the Congress leader wrote on the micro-blogging site Twitter, even though he maintained that the party would not comment on the issue.
