So? He also helped with the AIFF-FIFA Academies. They also came up with a bunch of "Win for India" plans in which money was given to the AIFF for the development of football but what has it done? Here we are, still minnows and now forced to rely on the ISL in order to help us.
It is true that FIFA has helped us, but why would they not? India is a massive market and to expand football here would benefit them greatly but at the same time he is a corrupt bastard who IMO is a crook. Don't worry, the new guy will continue with the FIFA grants cause how else will he convince the minnow countries to vote for him? As long as these countries have equal voting power as Germany, Spain etc they will get their money from FIFA, whether that money will actually benefit local football is another question.

“Why arrest them just 24 hours before the election? They were not running away. Why did the cops come with three American journalists in tow? FIFA is based in Switzerland. All its official business is done in Switzerland. How come the Americans suddenly jumped into it even as a Swiss probe in going on?”
