New Delhi (The Stellar News) Saksham Kalia: Divya Kakran clinched bronze in the 65kg category at the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games on Friday. Divya in a meeting with Delhi CM after winning medal in commonwealth games lashes out at Delhi CM and said, “When she needed support no one helped her and now everyone is congratulating and rewarding after winning medal”.
Kakran also tweeted and wrote, “Thank you for congratulating me on my medal victory, respected CM sir. I’m living in Delhi for the past 20 years and doing my wrestling practice here, but I haven’t received any prize money from the state government, nor did I receive any help. @Arvind Kejriwal.”
“I request you that I should also be treated in a similar manner as Delhi-born wrestlers who are honoured despite representing other states.”
This is Divya’s second medal at the Commonwealth Games – she had won a bronze in the 2018 edition in Gold Coast . She shared a video from 2018, of her making a similar request to the Delhi CM during the felicitation ceremony following the contingent’s return from CWG success in Gold Coast.
