Gujarat has announced 11 lakhs for each player, and 5 lakhs extra for Pathan brothers. Please don't assume things. Looks like you are being paid by Congress to insult BJP leaders.

I agree ? Anything to pull down Modi? here is the story FROM REDIFF's site
SPORT-PATHAN PRINT EMAIL Guj govt declares Rs five lakh award for Pathan brothers
AHMEDABAD, SEP 26 (PTI) Two days after India won the Twenty20 cricket World Cup in Johannesburg, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today announced Rs five lakh award for Pathan brothers -- Irfan and Yusuf -- members of the team which defeated Pakistan.
Cabinet minister I K Jadeja confirmed to PTI that the government will be giving Rs five lakh award to the both the cricketers from Vadodara.
The announcement of the award from the state government comes after the state unit of the Congress party hit out at the government for 'ignoring' the spectacular performance of the Vadodara duo.
The step by the Gujarat government comes only after chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi announced cash awards for the players hailing from their state.
Yesterday, Gujarat Cricket Assocation (GCA) also announced that it will felicitate all members of the victorious Twenty20 team on the sidelines of the NKP Salve Challenger Series which will be held next month at the Sardar Patel stadium at Motera near here.
Earlier in the day, the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) also announced a cash reward of Rs 11 lakh to each member of the cricket team.

Prasanna Zore... stop making your dirty mind work overtime by writing such malicious article. With journalists like you, who needs the Lashkar-e-Toiba and HUJI

Thye keep this on mainly to try and insitgate the people when the truth is otherwise.
This is another pseudo who has no business in the news business, only in the truth distorting leftist propoganda machinery
In the first place, Prime minister should have announced 10lak award for all the players in "Team India" who won us World cup (entire 15 member squad)...
If PM/central body had done this, then there would not have been any room for regional partiality.
We have absolutely no restraint in our reactions. If they (team) lose a match we throw stones on their houses and if they win lift them on our head and go on a parade. Isn't there a way to celebrate without going beserk?

DR kalam,Vajpaye,DR Manmohan singh are great leaders. Who's vision is to develop India and bring unity among Indians. Not to divide and get votes Think Mature Indian and humanity first religion next What do you think MR Mahesh ?

You are right in your thinking but I wouldn't include Dr Singh in this list. He has proved that he is no better politician than those that divide people for votes. Also, the religious appeal in politics (both majority and minority religions) would disappear the day minority people reject those politicians that play minority appeasement politics just for votes.
All politicians want is publicity. Why no one came out with any cash prize when India won Asia cup in Hockey. There should be a common policy of paying the prize. Hopefully politicians will treat everyone same.
Prasanna Zore, the news of Modi announcing a 5 lakh award to both the pathans calls for an apology from you on these very pages. Shows how perverted the political discourse is in India. Where every deed or non-deed of a certain social/political class is subject to a microscopic examination. And even a minor issue is used to whip up hatred against them.
