NEW DELHI: Of late, elections to national sports federations have garnered much attention. This time, in an interesting twist, the boxing body’s polls pit a seasoned Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) heavyweight against the incumbent, who too shares close ties with the ruling dispensation.
In a high-stakes battle for the Boxing Federation of India’s (BFI) president’s post, senior BJP leader and former sports minister Anurag Thakur appears poised to challenge the incumbent Ajay Singh, who is co-founder and owner of SpiceJet airlines, in the March 28 elections here.
