It seems Usha is wanting to steam roll her hand picked person to me. I don’t know what happened in January and in between. Salary seems to be the sticking point, but I think there’s more to it than that. Oh, the Indian sports bodies. What a lovely treat!!

Yeah, the salary cannot be the real issue. There is something else going on.

Volleyball Federation of India's ad-hoc committee used IOA's PAN card without approval: IOA Chief PT Usha makes startling claims

The chairman of the ad-hoc committee running Volleyball in India is Rohit Rajpal. There is that man "Captain Sideburns" again! Davis Cup Captain, AITA Treasurer, and also running the Volleyball Federation!

I have no clue on what kind of politics is going on. We know that PT Usha is in the middle of different fights.

Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha goes after detractors, hammer and tongs (The Telegraph, Kolkata)

The Great Indian Sports Administration Mess: Suspended email IDs, missing videos, misuse of funds (The Indian Express)

PT Usha just came out with an allegation that there are executive council members who have sexual harassment cases against them.

Knowing that she has never shown much political savvy, my uninformed initial feeling is that she is probably on the right side of issues, unlike the others who are all politicians. But that is just a general hunch or an inkling, and I may be quite wrong.

But Rohit Rajpal being the lone IOA representative and chairman of the ad-hoc committee running Indian Volleyball Federation, did catch my eye. This looks like an open war call on Rohit Rajpal from PT Usha. Both are BJP people too.
