Suresh Kalmadi on TV phone talk with an news anchor after the opening
world cup hockey match win of the Indian team, said that he is happy
and will give a "bakshish" of 1 lakh rupees to each player.
This reveals why the hockey team earlier had to go on a strike to
argue for stable salaries. They asked for a stable payment of 1 crore
for the full team for salaries. But Mr. Management could not
understand it, TV channels could not understand it!!
The sports managements here only understand wins and then bakshish.
Nothing else.
For commonwealth games this same management is handling a few thousand
crores.
Amazing.
Happy Holi.
