Why lights went off at Eden? Finally we have an official version: blame goes to the fuse. This must have left King Khan and IPL con‘fused’. Why did it take 4 days to figure that out? SRK and IPL must get used to these official and contradictory versions, if they decide to turn things around professionally in this state for the sake of Knight Riders. It’ll be interesting to watch how he and his management handle these matters. It is surprising he hasn’t lost his cool.

Look at the googlies he had to face ever since Eden fiasco:
Why score boards didn’t work?

Well, the deal was for the stadium; working condition score boards were not specified?

Why did the lights go out?

Engineers found fault with the cable but inquiry committee found out it was the fuse!! (Never knew one could fix fuse by fixing cables)

What about water shortage?

Who promised anything about water supply? IPL management placed order for water pouches late.

What about the Pitch?

There was nothing wrong. One heard version: The match was played on a second unprepared pitch for the sake of better camera angle!!

This is the classic style of working here. If things go wrong the politically correct version is the one which saves all skins. These answers give clean chit to all: CAB, state sports department, CESC, PWD. No one is to blame except maybe SRK himself for getting involved with Kolkata IPL team in the first place!! SRK’s Kolkata encounter had a special topping: Bangla Bandh called by opposition party. He and his friends missed their flight,children missed school.

If King Khan does turn things around in Kolkata professionally then he should enter politics and turn things around in almost all spheres of life in Kolkata. An Average Kolkatan is tired of administration’s callous attitude, the blame game and the official versions. Be it Eden fiasco or a road accident or a major fire or murders or eve teasing or gross mismanagement at government hospitals, no one takes responsibility, no one is punished and there is no improvement. Buses race, fires continue to raze, patients die at hospital doorsteps...and there are Bandhs. Welcome to Kolkata, Shah Rukh!!!
