Olympian and Arjuna Award-winning athlete Anju Bobby George has accused Kerala Sports Minister EP Jayarajan of insulting her. Kerala Sports Council President Anju has also complained about this to Chief Minister P. Vijayan. Anju, who created history by winning a medal at the 2003 World Athletics Championship, said that after the new state government came to power, she had gone to meet the sports minister on June 7 along with the vice chairmen of the council. He said, 'We thought she would talk to us about the level of sports in Kerala. 

In the very first meeting, the minister said that all of you had been selected as members by the previous ministry. That's why all of you are members of the other party. Whatever appointments and transfers you are making are illegal. Anju said that the minister also objected to the flight ticket taken by her from Bangalore to Thiruvananthapuram to attend the council meeting. She said that the minister, who is based in Bangalore, told her that 'this is against the rules'. I can stop all these things. Anju said that apart from her, Preeja Sreedharan, Indian hockey captain PR Sreejesh, and Kerala Cricket Association president TC Mathew are other members of the council. Accusing Jayarajan, he said that 'the minister said that all of you are involved in corruption.

This athlete said that we are not working for any political party. Sports is our party. I am not a member of any party, whether Congress or the BJP.' Anju said, 'We are doing our duty. If the government is not ready to accept it, they can ask us to leave. But it is not acceptable to call us corrupt. When asked about these allegations, the state sports minister said that she did not misbehave. She said that she was not aware that this athlete had complained about him to the Chief Minister. Anju is celebrating her birthday today; happy birthday to her from News Track.
