Home Minister P Chidambaram says there could be "problems" during the Indian Premier League even if the organisers avoid a clash with polling days in a host city as election in a neighboring state may stretch the security set-up.

"It is not security only in that state. You see, if election is taking place in a neighboring state or just across the state border. If we have an IPL match in the state, there could be problems," Chidambaram said.
