BCCI's new president Jagmohan Dalmiya reaches Kolkata
With tears in his eyes, Dalmiya told reporters: "The people have shown me there love and affection and this is something I will love forever."
"I am pro-cricket," Dalmiya said.
Dalmiya returned as the chief of the board after a decade at its 85th annual general meeting in Chennai on Monday.
Dalmiya, the current president of Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), had earlier emerged as consensus candidate from N. Srinivasan’s camp.
