Controversy refuses to leave the present government at New Delhi. The government has managed to get itself in a corner even in a win-win situation. The Indian Hockey Team has won but once again the government has lost.
The Indian hockey team refused to accept the "too-little" award money offered to it by the federation.
Normally this controversy would not be attributed to the government, but here GOI is involved because it is responsible for controlling and funding Hockey the national sport of India.
Interestingly, many questions were raised last week when the media reported that the team did not have proper shoes when they set out to play the final match. Surprising!! Very surprising - because the government says it has given crores for this game, so has it all gone.
The most likely and easy answer that pops into the mind is "CORRUPTION". Like other government departments, the babus and officers managing the federation need to be closely examined.
