Dalmiya attended the meeting as a representative of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). "The BCCI is functioning under orders from the ICC chief," Bindra, president of the Punjab Cricket Association, said recording his dissent in the matter.

While conceding that Dalmiya had 95 per cent people with him, Bindra accused him of being `vindictive.' Dalmiya was accused of ``systematically singling out'' those who were opposed to him.

The former president also showed his displeasure in the manner in which the ICC president ``was running the show. He (Dalmiya) is even able to alter minutes of the meeting,'' he is reported to have said at the meeting. He also objected to the minutes of the meetings where thedissent by members on certain issues were not recorded.

He also raised objection to the continued participation of Dalmiya in board affairs and meetings. ``The Board is acting like a mafia,'' Bindra told a colleague before the meeting ended.

Apparently, he vowed not to attend any future meetings of the Board until his stand was indicated. Bindra said he was willing to resign from PILCOM (the organising committee for the Wills World Cup in 1996).

Regarding naming the team for Commonwealth Games, Bindra reportedly told the meeting, ``From the attitude, it is clear that the BCCI is not interested in winning medals at the Games but only in earning money. It is a battle for money.''
