New AICF secretary refutes charges by Bharat Singh Chauhan
The HinduNewly-nominated secretary of the All India Chess Federation Vijay Deshpande has refuted the charges made on Tuesday by his predecessor Bharat Singh Chauhan and questioned his actions. On Tuesday, the AICF president P. R. Venketrama Raja removed Chauhan from the post of secretary. Reacting to Chauhan’s allegation that Raja’s action was a “malicious attempt to cover his tracks,” Deshpande said, “Chauhan should read the court order carefully and then challenge. Raja does not require any certification from Chauhan.” Desphande described Chauhan’s charge that Raja removed him to save All Marathi Chess Association as “irrelevant and meaningless.” Chauhan had pointed out AMCA’s delay in submitting the accounts to the State authorities after availing a grant of ₹2 crore for holding the World Youth Chess Championship in Mumbai last October and that Raja was trying to save the State chess body.
