Narang\u2019s candidacy gained momentum after BJP MP and industrialist Naveen Jindal exited the race last week. His nomination was formally put forward by Ajay Patel, senior vice president of the Indian Olympic Association.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In an unusual turn, Narang has also thrown his hat into the ring for the post of vice president, joining a crowded contest featuring six aspirants, including sitting secretary general Kunwar Sultan Singh.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Narang\u2019s longtime associate, Pawan Kumar Singh, is poised to become the next secretary general, as he is the lone nominee and will therefore be elected unopposed. Meanwhile, the contest for treasurer will pit Ashok Mittal against Meghasham Sripad Bhangle.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
