NEW DELHI:
A BFI notification, signed by its president Ajay Singh, said Thakur was ineligible for the elections as his nomination was in violation of BFI's constitution as well as the National Sports Code.
Thakur was expected to throw his hat in the ring for the BFI president's post. Among those who were found ineligible after scrutiny were representatives of Tripura and Meghalaya. The eligibility of Delhi will be "subject to the orders of returning officer", the notification said.
A BFI circular issued on March 7 stated "only bonafide and duly elected members during the election AGM of the state units affiliated with the BFI shall be authorized to represent their respective states/union territories."
