'Bengal Governor Did But None From Kerala Govt Greeted Me': Hockey Gold Medal Winner Sreejesh
West Bengal Governor: Expressing deep anguish over lack of recognition to Asian Games medal winners in Kerala, Hockey gold medal winner P. R. Sreejesh on Thursday said that while West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose visited his house to congratulate him for bringing laurels to the country, no body from his state --not even a village council president -- greeted him.
Sreejesh was the goal keeper when India thrashed Japan 5-1 at the recently concluded Asian Games hockey finals in China.
"I was happy that the Bengal Governor came and congratulated me on my achievement but no one from Kerala -- not even a village council member -- did so. A wrong message is being sent out to the upcoming generation that even if one wins a gold medal in Asian games, none here appreciates it," he rued.
