Karnataka players from the winning kho kho World Cup team accused the state government of discrimination and insult, rejecting a cash prize of Rs 5 lakh. They claimed that other states offer higher rewards, including Class 'A' jobs. The players and the state kho kho association highlighted the derelict state of indigenous sports in Karnataka, with the state kho kho association accusing the government of focusing on a few sports while ignoring others.
