Taking to this correspondent at TCV Dharamsala Cantt, Singh refuted the charges of HPCA that government has acted in a dictatorial manner on this subject. He said, “Government has given land @ Re.1 per year to develop cricket to HPCA, which was a society. Later the HPCA changed itself to a company, which is not acceptable to us, so we have cancelled the lease. Where is the dictatorship?”
