Chaubey-ji has reportedly declared Churchill Brothers as the winner, according to Bhaichung Bhutia
“Kalyan [Chaubey], in his opening speech, congratulated Churchill Brothers — Valanka Alemao was also there — for winning the I-League and all that. On that point, I questioned him, ‘You know, there’s a big story in the media right now — the league is not being decided on the ground but in the AIFF office — which is a very bad thing for AIFF. And now you’re declaring Churchill? Are you sure?’ He said yes,” said Bhaichung Bhutia, speaking to Khel Now.
“He [Kalyan Chaubey] clarified, saying that as far as AIFF is concerned, Churchill is the winner. He said it — and we all clapped. Congratulations were given. I asked again, ‘Are you sure?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ So that is where he declared Churchill. Valanka was there. Every Executive Committee member was there. He declared them. I asked again, ‘Are you sure?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Okay, congratulations. I was not aware,’” said Bhaichung Bhutia.
Whatever happens internal, this statement should not have come out of Baichung because the decision is still pending. This might have been internal news and wasn't conveyed to outside yet, meaning Baichung is bound to keep it secret. Problem is theres no bound amongst its members
