AAP’s Grip Tightens on Punjab Cricket: Mehta Re-elected PCA President
The Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) held its annual general meeting on July 12, 2025, electing new office bearers. Amarjit Singh Mehta secured another term as president.
Several key positions within the PCA were filled by individuals reportedly close to the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). This has raised questions about the party’s influence on the state’s sporting body.
The meeting also saw the felicitation of outstanding cricketers from the recently concluded season. A meeting with Punjab’s Chief Minister was also part of the day’s proceedings.
This development underscores the growing nexus between politics and sports administration in Punjab. The extent of AAP’s influence on the PCA and its potential impact on the future of Punjab cricket remains to be seen, sparking concerns among sports enthusiasts and observers alike.
