It is utterly disgusting to see state governments announcing awards. Some questions: 1. What is the policy of awarding? Why werent hockey players awarded when they won asia cup this year. 2. What is the budget for such awards? BCCI said that they are not a government body. If at all there is a budget for such awards, then should be through Sports Authority of India to which BCCI is an affiliate body.
Anyway our politicians except Modi have brains.It is unfortunate that rediff chose to question intention of Modi rather than address the problem of awarding itself.
