Vijay Kumar Malhotra

At a time when leaders switch sides every now and then, former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, who died on Saturday, remained committed to Congress throughout her life, said BJP veteran Vijay Kumar Malhotra, one of the senior-most political figures in the national capital.

With the 2014 Commonwealth Games organising committee allotting October 13 as the date for baton relay in India, the suspended Indian Olympic Association has refused citing Dussehra celebrations. Meanwhile IOA acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra has written to the CWG organisers and is awaiting a response.

Eyeing for return to power in Delhi after a gap of 15 years, BJP will kick off its election campaign at a rally here tomorrow, coinciding with the birthday of its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.

According to a letter in NDTV's possession, and addressed to senior IOA officials, including acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra, the international body wants IOA to hold fresh elections by December 15. If the IOA fails, India could face more punishment.

Malhotra says that the ministry recently in response to an RTI application said that it recognises him as the president of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) but not recognise him as the AAI president and has also derecognised the archery association.

What irked Malhotra, who is recognised as the IOA president, is that the IOC accepted Batra and Anand, whose names were proposed by the Abhay Singh Chautala-led unrecognised IOA, which has been suspended by the IOC.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is believed to have called a meeting with the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) headed by Vijay Kumar Malhotra in May in Lausanne.

Meanwhile, IOA Acting President Vijay Kumar Malhotra had a series of meeting with senior officials in the wake of the International Olympic Committee's latest threat to suspend India if the IOA followed the Government's Sports Code for the December 5 polls.
