Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was taken off-guard by wrestler Divya Kakran who won a bronze medal in wrestling at the Commonwealth Games. The wrestler claimed that she had been living in Delhi for the last 20 years but had not received any help from the state government.
Kejriwal had taken to Twitter to congratulate Divya. When translated from Hindi, his post on Saturday read: “Well done, wrestlers. Our wrestlers have made a splash in the Commonwealth Games. In wrestling, India got a total of 6 medals in a single day, out of which 3 were gold. Many congratulations to Sakshi Malik and Deepak Punia for their Gold, Divya Kakran and Mohit Grewal for their Bronze medals.”
Showing her pain while expressing gratitude, Divya wrote, “A heartfelt thank you to the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi for congratulating me on the medal. I have a request for you that I have been living in Delhi for the last 20 years and practising my sport wrestling. Until now, I have not been given any reward or help from the state government.”
