Annamalai said, "It is highly reprehensible that even the school students are not provided with proper opportunities, and they have treated the children and their parents in a lower standard than the party members who come to the DMK general meeting. In a statement released by tamil Nadu bjp president annamalai, "After the severe condemnation of the DMK government, parents and tamil Nadu bjp for denying the opportunities of tamil Nadu school level athletes last year by not selecting students for the national sports competitions for school students, this year in the name of selecting athletes, students and parents has wavered.
National level team selection for each sports competition is held in different cities of tamil Nadu. school students and parents to the cities where their sports selection is held. They have come from different parts of tamil Nadu. But the tamil Nadu government has neglected to provide even basic facilities for the players at the places where the selection is held. For example, the selection for tamil Nadu level taekwondo team is held in Kanchipuram. The school students and parents who have come from all over tamil Nadu are sleeping on the rain water drainage stream without getting proper accommodation and drinking water facilities.
Little children, hard working with ambitions to achieve in sports, lying asleep on the drainage stream, would make every parent cringe. But neither the minister of school Education Department nor the minister of sports Department of the tamil Nadu government, who have any qualification other than being a son of Innar, have no concern about the school children. If the parents of tamil Nadu, in their self-work, sacrifice their health and sorrows, and make their children sportsmen who will make the nation proud, what has the DMK done to improve the sports sector in two and a half years after coming to power, apart from going there and sticking a sticker without shame?
It is highly reprehensible that DMK has treated young children and parents in a lower standard than the party members who come to the general meeting, without taking any effort to find suitable sportspersons all over tamil Nadu, provide them with necessary training, take them to the national and international level, and not even provide proper opportunities for school students. When the condition of tamil Nadu athletes is so bad, inviting some people in the name of training Manipur athletes, arranging accommodation, food etc. and sending them back in a few days is nothing but vain advertisement? What training were given to them, here? How many days will you run the government on just advertising?
Parents have also alleged that the qualification system of national level sportspersons held across tamil Nadu is not being done properly and the players are being selected discriminatively according to the preferences of a few, instead of selecting the deserving players for each sport. DMK is deceiving the entire sports industry by selecting talented players and not sending them to national level competitions. annamalai said, "DMK has never had the right to celebrate the achievements of sportspersons who achieve by self-effort without providing them with opportunities and facilities."
