Arun Jaitley, son Rohan Jaitley who is also an advocate has filed his nomination papers — two sets of papers — for Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president’s post, a position that his father held for almost 14 years before his political career.
“I have filed the nominations because one has to work. Cricket administration is not easy. Things need to be done that are appropriate to the requirement of the subject here [DDCA],” said Rohan Jaitley.
Shashi Khanna, the wife of former acting BCCI president and ex-DDCA vice-president CK Khanna, has also taken part in DDCA nominations. She is also one of the strongest candidates for the DDCA treasurer’s post. She is likely to face Gautam Gambhir’s uncle Pawan Gulati,
“I am definitely contesting for the treasurer’s post. I have filed two sets of papers only to be on the safer side. Some other individuals have also filled their papers for this post, but most of them are individuals and don’t belong to any groups. Individuals are weaker candidates than those fielded by groups. So, they are expected to eventually withdraw,” Shashi Khanna said.
