Sports minister Vijay Goel today said he wants BCCI to be a signatory of the revamped Sports Code that will be tabled very soon. BCCI is yet to become a signatory of Sports Code as they don't receive any government grant. The Sports minister said the Sports Code is already in existence and is being followed by the federations. For the final code, as soon as the report will be ready the government will propose it in front of the nation, Mr. Goel said. BCCI's acting president CK Khanna who was sitting alongside Mr. Goel during the briefing in New Delhi refused to comment immediately and said that it will only be discussed at an appropriate time when the sports bill is tabled. BCCI, the richest sporting body in India is undergoing transition after landmark constitutional reforms pertaining to good governance as per Justice RM Lodha Committee.
