Actually i am no fan of mayawati, but i appreciate her attitude of sponsoring the indian hockey team for 5 crores. Atleast she is not sharad pawar who only puts his hand in the rich coffers of BCCI. the other joker is Suresh kalmadi who has done practically nothing to improve sports in india
As more and more public support are pouring in for Hockey players, its time for the politicians to take advantage. But who is complaining. Hockey - The national sport of india will definitely get a lift. I wish all the other politians join too.
Mayawati willing to sponsor Indian hockey team...Condition: The team should have 60% seats for reserved category and team should be called "Ambedkar Team". Official Logo of team to be ???? Elephant
With one move, Mayawati has put all the other politicians in India in their places. What a shameful day it is, when a national team has to go begging for funds. Wish hockey and other sports were also allowed to develop like cricket. Hats off to Mayawati. The only thing she has done, that will place her among humans.
Are there checks and balances on how money is spent ? These generocities are arbitrary and outrageous.
Its frigid tax payers money paid by people from their hard earnings. Not some charitable trust or kitty account of Mayawaati or Modi.
While the Hockey players do deserve their due package, it became a sort of theatre of absurd. All of a sudden these Netajis woke up and trying to score brownie points - latest Mayawaati whose prospects of reelection in the next assembly polls dangle in thin air.
This timely gesture by Ms. Mayawati is being widely appreciated. It's Uttar Pradesh that gave India the likes of Dhyan Chand and Roop Singh and this largess will go a long way in shoring up the morale of the hockey players.
Yes, yes, yes. This is a brilliant idea. I propose we should put up Bahenji's statues playing hockey (or hookey??) all over the country, in every gully, nook & corner, chauraha, highway, etc. etc. etc. What do you think?????
