‘People react to minister’s comments’; KCA against the minister for less audience ‘Minister’s Negative Comment Leads to Calls to Boycott Competition’; KCA against the minister

Thiruvananthapuram: The Kerala Cricket Association again against the minister in the incident of low attendance in the India-Sri Lanka cricket match held at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. People do not know that KCA organizes cricket. The understanding is that it is being organized by the government. KCA President Jayesh George said that when there was a negative comment from the minister’s side, there was a call to boycott the competition on social media.

“The best match was held in Thiruvananthapuram. We can never blame the government or the minister. Government and corporation have given us a lot of help. A social media campaign was launched to boycott the competition. People see it as a competition run by the government. When a comment like that comes, people will react. “Cricket itself has a name as a rich man’s game,” said Jayesh George.

Yesterday’s match had less spectators. There was a protest over the addition of entertainment tax on tickets. However, Sports Minister V. Abdurrahiman’s statement was widely criticized and there was a call to boycott the competition on social media.
