Its our bane. We always get carried away too far. Today, there is "bher chaal" in announcing prizes for the team inspite of the USD 2 Million by BCCI. Tomorrow, when there is one bad performance, the same people would be burning effigies infront of the players home.
Mr Prasanna, you are being silly by saying "the reason is as plain as the nose on the chief minister's face?" By deliberately stoking communal passions, people like you poison a society's mind. Come on, Irfan or Zaheer or Azhar have been darlings of India's cricket. And here are people like you who read dirty politics to fetch yourself fame. The reason why your article has been published is because you uttered something stupid and controversial. It means publicity and more money for you. Alas, the amount you people can stoop to conquer is amazing.
If Mr Modi has not announced any rewards, so has Mrs Shiela Dixit for Gautam Gambhir, Sehwag. The Punjab Chief Minister is also silent. Why are you trying to pick the Gujarat CM. If you are so desperate to earn, say so...possibly Mr Modi will find you a suitable job.
