“It was pure corruption in the name of a game. The effort made to reward the Chief Minister by giving him man of the match is a clear indication of the prevalence of corruption in Jharkhand and even a cricket match is not untouched in it,” he added.
He further said that proper investigation should be done on the distribution of sports goods during the matches.
