Absolutely agree with you. Unfortunately the governments and media talk only about cricket. The hocky achievements go unnoticed. And rediff wont even shed crocodile tears. Any answer Prasanna??

I am amazed to see the public support for such activities. It is great that the Indian team won the world cup, but this behaviour of the CMs is in line with the Rajas & Maharajas of the old times.

CMs are not Rajas or Maharajahs.
Whos money are they spending ?

They can gift their personal money as gift to anyone they like, but this kind of un-checked tax money spending is insane.

Indian players are NOT under-paid. The BCCI will and does compensate them well.

I am not a big fan of Modi and I am not sure what his motivations are but I do not believe that it is right for a CM to shell out TAX money when there are other genuine and more pressing needs within the state.

You are right Mr. Patel but not congratulating the players (which is for free)is ambiguous.

In football we won nehru cup & in hockey we won asia cup but nobody bothered about those players, even those players played for india and made India proud. people should appreciate those players also & these idiot politicians should spend some money on hockey grouds, football grounds & other facilities for other forms of games rather than filling there pockets. india have talent no doubt but players need facilities. wake up idiot politicians.
