Delhi govt never gave us monetary help for Olympic preparation: Athletes

The Delhi government appeared to have done its bit by putting up banners of five Delhi athletes who competed at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Huge banners consisting of sketches of table tennis star Manika Batra, shooter Deepak Kumar and two 400m runners, Amoj Jacob and Sarthak Bhambri, were put up all over Delhi but upon speaking to one of the athletes, it appears the banners are just a paint job to hide the deficiencies of the government. "I can tell you that the Delhi government never came to my help, no monetary help was ever offered to me," said 22-year-old Bhambri, who lives in Rajouri Garden and is currently pursuing his under-graduation education. "Posters have been put up saying, 'Delhi bole jeet ke aana', kaise jeet ke aana? (Delhi says win medal at Olympics. How to win this way?)"
