New Delhi: Anju Bobby George, a former athlete who won a bronze medal 13 years ago at the 2003 World Athletics Championships has been made a committee member of Khelo India Project by the ministry of sports and youth affairs under the Union government led by Narendra Modi. Badminton Coach Pullela Gopichand is the other sportsperson appointed to the committee.
Thiruvananthapuram: Former athlete Anju Bobby George resigned from the Kerala State Sports Council on Wednesday, contrary to her earlier stand that she would not resign. She alleged corruption in the Sports Council.
Kerala Sports Minister E P Jayarajan is at the receiving end of a malicious campaign by former athlete Anju Bobby George, politicians and certain sections of the media.
While Anju, President of State Sports Council and a nominee of the Catholic lobby in the former UDF Govt led by Congress, gets all the sympathy, Minister Jayarajan, who questioned wasteful expenditure of public funds is obviously peeved at the scorn heaped on him by the media.
