Modi is also a vice president of the Punjab Cricket Association. Modi held state government responsible for his defeat.

"I paid the price of being close to Vasundhara Raje (former chief minister of Rajasthan). The state government did whatever it could to defeat me.

"But there will be no affect on IPL matches. They will be held in Jaipur only," Modi said after the results.

The run up to the RCA election was marked by a series of allegation and counter allegations between the two rival groups which fought a fierce battle to gain control of the Association.

The date of the election was fixed by the Supreme Court after Modi challenged a decision to hold election on February 22.
