But the NDA was voted out of power in May 2004, and Kalmadi allegedly named chairman by the GoM in November 2004 when the UPA was in power.
The former sports minister in the previous UPA government Sunil Dutt wrote to the Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh on November 14, 2004 suspecting foul play in appointment of Suresh Kalmadi as Chairman of the Organising Committee.
He alleged that someone may have changed the minutes of the GoM meeting held on October 25, 2004, appointing Kalmadi as the Chairman of the Organising Committee.
Sunil Dutt suspected someone changed the term “Organising Committee” to “Apex Committee”.
But the minutes of the IOA meeting held in 2008, where BJP leader VK Malhotra proposed Kalmadi’s name for re-election to the post of IOA president.
