“Food served to kabaddi players in #UttarPradesh kept in toilet. Is this how #BJP respects the players? Shameful!”, YSR,  social media convener of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi,tweeted.

Saharanpur: Videos of food being served to Uttar Pradesh kabaddi players in a toilet are making rounds on the internet, leading to massive outrage and a ‘clarification’ from the state government.

The videos, which are now in wide circulation, were reportedly shot September 16 during an Under-17 state-level kabaddi tournament for girls in Saharanpur.

The videos show players serving themselves rice and vegetable from different vessels placed inside what looks like a toilet. Next to the rice and vegetable vessels, were leftover ‘pooris’ on a piece of paper.

In the 1-minute long video, the camera pans to show urinals and wash basins in the frame and then pans back to show the rice plate kept on the toilet floor near its gate. The players can be seen taking the food and heading out of the toilet.

Another video shows workers picking up utensils and bringing them outside near the swimming pool where the food is being cooked.

Animesh Saxena, Sports Officer of Saharanpur, who had claimed that the food was kept in the ‘changing room’ (toilet) because of a “space crunch” has been sacked, and the state government has also ordered a probe into the matter.

“It was not kept in the bathroom. Because it was raining, we made arrangements for food in the swimming pool area. The food was kept in the changing room next to the swimming pool. The stadium is undergoing some construction work. There was no other place to keep the food because of the rain” Mr. Saxena had said earlier.

Political parties have hit out at the ruling BJP over the viral videos for disrespecting the kabaddi players.

“Food served to kabaddi players in #UttarPradesh kept in toilet. Is this how #BJP respects the players? Shameful!”, YSR,  social media convener of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi,tweeted.

RLD chief, Jayant Chaudhary also shared Mr. Reddy’s tweet and said, “This is an insult to the players! It seems that those who enjoy power only see their convenience, everyone else should be self-reliant!.”
