Amitabh Bachchan, the iconic bollywood actor who is loved by one and all in the country and abroad, has been ruled out from the race of becoming the brand ambassador of upcoming 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi by Indian Olympics Association chairman and Congress MP from Pune, Mr. Suresh Kalmadi. Though Kalmadi gave the advancing age as main reason for his exclusion, the buzz is that it was only another way of humiliating Big B for his association with Narendra Modi.s government of Gujarat. Earlier, V K Malhotra, a senior leader of the Bjp, had written to Suresh Kalmadi requesting him to consider Amitabh Bachchan as the brand ambassador for upcoming sporting extravaganza in October. However, Congress party has decided to increase its attack on Amitabh Bachchan for his association with Gujarat and now its leader Manish Tiwari has asked him to explain stand on the Gujarat riots and Modi.s role in it.
