Tania, the Delhi-based chess champion, having won many laurels for the nation, took to social media on Monday and shared her pain and agony over not getting any acknowledgement or recognition from the city government despite making the nation proud at Olympiads twice, first in 2022 and the latest in 2024.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Delhi IT cell chief Amit Malviya and General Secretary BL Santosh slammed the Atishi-led AAP dispensation for neither hailing not applauding the city-based chess athlete for her achievements.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMost of AAP leaders\u2019 time is spent in welcoming their leaders coming out of Tihar. They don\u2019t have time for achievers,\u201d said BL Santosh in a searing jibe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Malviya said that this was not a one-off incident as many sportspersons have flagged similar concerns in the past and despite that AAP government has remained unmoved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Taking to X, he wrote, \u201cArvind Kejriwal has failed to stand by our sportspersons, a disappointing reflection of his tenure as Chief Minister. Many athletes, including those from wrestling and boxing, have expressed similar concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis is particularly troubling given that Delhi is a resource-rich state with modern infrastructure and substantial support from the central government. What is lacking, however, is the will to genuinely serve the people. It is time to vote out AAP,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
BJP\u2019s harsh condemnation of AAP supremo followed Tania Sachdev baring her thoughts about city government\u2019s cold response to even award-winning sportspersons.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tania wrote on X, \u201cHaving played for India since 2008, it\u2019s disheartening to see lack of recognition from the Delhi government for achievements in chess. States that support and celebrate their champions, directly inspire excellence and motivate talent.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She further hoped that Delhi CM and Arvind Kejriwal see value in supporting their chess athletes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
