    Our state govt has crores to give to MLAs under operation Kamala, but no money for our sportsperson. The cash prize should have been 25 Lacks for Gold winners, 15 Lacks for Silver n 10 Lacks for Bronze. Congratulations to ASHWINI for bringing Gold to India n Glory to Karnataka honor to Udupi District & Taluk. Yeddy should gone to Airport to meet them personnally. Opposition leaders are busy in pulling the legs of ruling govt. no time for them for such sports persons.
