Mumbai (PTI) Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi on Saturday rubbished Rajasthan government's allegations that he deliberately shifted IPL matches out of the state, saying the accusations are baseless.
Reacting to Rajasthan Home Minister Shanti Dhariwal's allegations, Modi said Dhatiwal was misinformed about reasons for shifting IPL matches from Jaipur.
Modi said five IPL matches were to be held in Jaipur as per the first schedule, but the state government approved it with a rider that central paramilitary forces were needed to give sufficient security which was not possible as per the decision taken by the Union Home Ministry.
"The confirmation from the Rajasthan government had a rider - which advised the IPL that it would not be able to provide adequate security and would require support of the central paramilitary forces," Modi said.
