‘I thank Delhi CM for congratulating me on my medal victory. I have a request that I have been living in Delhi for the last 20 years and have also been training in wrestling here, but I have not received any prize money from the state government, nor did I receive any help,” Kakran tweeted tagging Kejriwal.

“I request you that I should also be honoured in a similar way as Delhi wrestlers who are honoured despite they also play from other states,” Kakran said in another.
Responding to these remarks, the AAP government in a statement said,” The Delhi government respects all sportspersons of the country and prays for their bright future.”
