Dear Srinivas,
India sent 119 athletes and 90 officials to Rio. The athletes travelled by economy and the officials by business class!
The officials then proceeded to embarrass and let down our athletes.
Marathon runner Jaisha fainted because there was no Indian official present to give her water.
The Haryana sports minister took a 9-member team to Rio funded by tax-payers' money. They were spotted sightseeing but didn't attend any games.
Srinivas, sign my petition and ask Prime Minister Modi to announce a policy to restrict the number of officials accompanying sportspersons for sports events outside the country and hold them accountable.
I am a former table tennis player and have represented India in 1980. I have seen first hand, the amount of corruption there is in sports. And it’s time we end this.
India’s performance in the Rio Olympics should be a wake up call for the authorities. We can’t let abuse of power take over India’s sports and make a joke of this country.
Sign my petition and ask for an end to this culture of corruption in sports.
Thank you for your support,
Devyani Chadhury
