#WATCH | On the 2010 IPL Kochi scandal, IPL founder and first chairman Lalit Modi says, "Sonia Gandhi was backing Shashi Tharoor. I got calls from Ahmed Patel and Pranab Mukherjee in those days. You had that p@** Rajeev Shukla coming up to me and say 'Chalo Ahmed Patel aa raha hai.'... How can somebody pay $350 million for a team, that is the Kochi consortium, where 75 % of the shareholders are paying 100% of the cost?... Every dollar that comes in revenue, she would be getting 15% of the money... I knew this was going to collapse... Two years down the line, it collapsed... I did not sign the agreement because I wanted to meet every member of the consortium. The meeting took place in Bangalore. All the shareholders were there except for the lady, Sunanda Pushkar. I'm looking at this agreement, and by the way, I had no idea who she was... I'm asking these consortium members. You're giving away 25% shares to a lady called Sunanda Pushkar. Who is she?... I said I am not going to sign this agreement till I know who Sunanda Pushkar is. The minute I said that, I got a call from Shashi Tharoor... He said, Lalit, don't ask about Sunanda Pushkar. He was a good friend of mine. He said, If you do, I will have you raided in the morning. I said who the hell do you think you are? You may be the foreign minister of India, but don't you dare ever tell me this. I banged on the phone, and I said I will not sign it. Hell broke loose. It's two o'clock in the morning. Then I get a call, you can verify this, from Shashank Manohar, as president of BCCI, who never interfered. A very nice man. He said, Lalit, you will sign this agreement today... Now I never defy authority... I told him that I will be signing this agreement under duress, and I will point out that the President is forcing me to sign the agreement... The next day, I get up in the morning, and every newspaper, front page, 'Sunanda Pushkar getting married to Shashi Tharoor.' Now I knew why I had to sign it."
