The Mudgal report also highlighted that there is a conflict of interest on Srinivasan holding the post of BCCI Chief and ownership of IPL franchisee, and that it is a serious issue and needs to be considered by court.
In another tweet of Modi, he wrote about IPL franchise, Chennai Super Kings.
Waiting to get copy of report before commenting. But if Csk owners are caught betting and fixing team needs to be annulled as per rules— Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) February 10, 2014
Later, through his tweets, Modi kept attacking the CSK and N Srinivasan. Now it's time for cricket establishment to wake up and bury the entire india cement team that has taken over the global cricket— Lalit Kumar Modi (@LalitKModi) February 10, 2014
Modi also told PTI: "For CSK team to underperform, it would have required direct involvement of CSK boss N Srinivasan as most of the players in CSK are employees of India Cements and under direct influence and control of Srinivasan who can also make or break their career in BCCI itself".
Lalit Modi went a step ahead while talking to a leading English news channel when he even took the name of Indian skipper MS Dhoni alleging that even Dhoni is involved in cover up and CSK must now be scrapped.
