    Guys,
    Stop fighting. Mamata didnt represent BJP or Congress.
    She didnt participate on behalf of Karnataka or AP either.
    Whereas one can feel proud of her being a Karnatakian, Her association with DK or belonging to Billawa in a positive way to express their feelings, this cannot be a object of fight in this forum.
    The bottomline is she represented INDIA and kept our head high......JAI HIND

    It is time Karnataka CM also recognizes and rewards the captain of Gold winning kabaddi team Mamta Poojary. Congratulations to you and your team for winning Gold Medal. Mamata Poojary has truly overcome all the hurdles in her life and has reached the pinnacle in kabaddi sports inspite of coming from a rural place. You are a true inspiration for all the young boys & girls who want to excel in their chosen field.

    STop fighting and getting curses from all the people. In simple i m telling you is that dont praise any political party for her achievement. We all need to be proud that she has made India and the people here proud by winning the Medal and she has been granted amount for her achievement. We do not know who has given her so much amount its the Government. So lets appreciate her and not bringing politics. This includes to the person who started with political comments.

I salute Andhra Government for their humble declaration of prize money. But I surprised why SVD not yet announced prize for “Proud of Coastal Karnataka”?

Please stop bringing politics here.You may chant slogans for a party for 4 days.

    It is really frustrating to see the politically and religiously motivated comments below. Mamatha Poojary has made our country and our state proud and that's the content of the news. Why do we need to bring in BJP, Congress or any other party or any other religion? Please appreciate the achievement of Ms Poojary. I think that is fair enough.

    Great gesture by Andhra Govt. and it is a sizable reward too unlike pittance from Karnataka Govt. when they reward sports person.
