Exclusive | Asian Games Medallist Jyothi Yarraji Demands Equal Pay & Recognition for Indian Athletes
India’s fastest woman hurdler, Jyothi Yarraji, who made history as the first Indian woman to win an Asian Games medal in hurdles, has spoken out about the lack of financial support and recognition for non-cricket athletes in India.
In an exclusive interview with Oneindia/MyKhel, Yarraji, who hails from Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, revealed that while she has been training under British coach James Hillier at the Reliance Athletics High-Performance Centre in Bhubaneswar, she has received no support from the Andhra Pradesh government.
The upcoming delimitation exercise in India has ignited a fierce debate between the central government and southern states. The process, which involves redrawing Lok Sabha and state assembly constituencies based on population, could significantly impact the political representation of states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh. With northern states experiencing higher population growth, delimitation may shift parliamentary seats in their favor, potentially reducing the South’s influence. Leaders like MK Stalin and Siddaramaiah are rallying against the move, calling it an unfair punishment for states that effectively controlled population growth.
