Rajasthan Cricket Association Row Deepens: Jaideep Bihani Accuses Convener Deendayal Kumawat of Politicising RCA

Political and administrative unrest has grown within the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA). Meanwhile, BJP MLA and former RCa ad hoc committee convener Jaideep Bihani has made serious accusations against current convener Deendayal Kumawat. Bihani claimed Kumawat aims to "Congressize" the RCA and cricket, and since ascending to power, he has begun acting like a "Brahma."

In an interview, Bihani harshly criticized Kumawat, stating, "I believe Kumawat has never encountered a chair before. Now that he holds power, he is trying to control everything. RCA decisions are no longer made by majority vote but solely based on the convener's orders."

He questioned the reappointment of Lokpal Bhavani Samota, appointed during the Congress era, suggesting it reflects the RCA's political bias. Bihani also accused Kumawat of doing this to bolster Congress's influence within the organization.

Bihani added, "If removing the Jodhpur District Association was such a priority, why wasn't it done immediately? Acting now appears to be driven by political motives and the misuse of government resources."

Regarding his leadership, Bihani asserted that no financial misconduct occurred during his time as RCA convener. "We focused on players' futures and made decisions collaboratively. The situation never escalated to street fights," he explained.

Dhananjay Singh Khinvsar supported Bihani, emphasizing his commitment to the RCA's transparency and a bright future. "I will stand for truth against those aiming to turn the RCA into a personal gains hub and a corrupt organization," he affirmed.
