IPL or Elections? This is the much debated issue these days. And I guess, the elections are far more important than the IPL. The ideal situation would be to have both IPL and elections. But, what about the security issues? Our home ministry is also concerned about the safety of the players. There will be thousands and lakhs of Indians out in the streets to vote. And it is the responsibility of the Government to safeguard the citizens. At the same time, is it possible for them to provide security to the players as well? They hopefully can.
On the other hand, the IPL organizers are confident of having a safe IPL. But in this new age terrorism, no assurance can be given. Hence, an element of risk is involved. But is the risk worth taking? Well, the players will decide that.
IPL, for all Indians is no less than national pride. It may be a domestic tournament but the best players in the world come together for this grand event So, here is an opportunity to show the world that India, unlike other sub-continental countries, is safe.
If by chance, the IPL gets cancelled then it’s a kind of victory to the terrorists. Their main motive is to spread terror and I’m afraid they’ve achieved that. We should never let them win again. Let’s unite and fight against terror. I’m pretty confident that the BCCI will do whatever it takes to safeguard the players. And I’m sure all players will come to India not just for the money but for cricket, the game that they love and we Indians love.
Cricket will remain a religion in India and cricketers are still our Gods! Let’s hope for a safe IPL and not to forget, a safe elections too!!!!

u r right... the show must go on... the dates will be revised... I dont think we have problems with security in India...
one thing which I feel is a setback for IPL is the fact that many players like Ricky Ponting, KP and others are pulling out... the fans badly want to see them play... Wat say???
yup....v fans badly wanna see d world's best in action....
i hope the show must go on without any trouble... if the motive of terrorist to attack the sri lanlan cricket team was to get popularity or to terrorize the cricket then any fool can predict the next attack is on IPL and with general elections being held at same time its tough job for our security forces... but yes ur rite... canceling the event means victory for terrorists... show must go on.... but... ders concern 2... and also tough for security forces....
yes show must go on but for what purpose and at wha cost?
Hi..u rightly said...elections should be a higher priority...
bcci hardly cares about anything apart from money...and it's playing the same game with the government as well...i'm not a huge fan of ipl or for that matter t20s either. but as you said again..the show must go on..
