“I am extremely delighted and grateful to all my colleagues. I thank the ICC Chairman and former BCCI Secretary Jay Shah…I will carry forward the work done by ICC Chairman and former BCCI Secretary Jay Shah,” Saikia told reporters.
Saikia hails from Assam and Bhatia from Chhattisgarh. Saikia was performing the additional duties of secretary after Shah took over as ICC chairman on December 1. He was the joint secretary and now that post lies vacant.
“The Two (02) Elective Posts of the Office Bearers – Secretary and Treasurer were Uncontested, and it was not necessary to conduct a Poll in respect of these Two (02) Posts,” stated electoral officer A K Joti in his declaration of results.
Shah, who was felicitated by the BCCI on Saturday night, was also feted at the SGM.
Speaking to reporters after the SGM, BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said apart from the election nothing was tabled in the meeting.” There was single point agenda (for the election of treasurer and secretary post). So nothing else was discussed at the SGM,” Shukla.
