“I have always taken great pride in representing Kerala. I can no longer put up with the poor treatment meted out to me by the sports fraternity in the state,’ said India’s highest ranked men’s singles player.<\/p>\n
Prannoy stated that he didn’t get a single congratulatory message from the KBSA or the state sports department after he won the bronze medal at the BWF World Badminton Championships 2023 in Denmark in August.<\/p>\n
He also claimed that he has not yet received the Rs 2 lakh cash prize announced by the KBSA in May last year after he played a key role in India’s historic first ever victory in the Thomas Cup.<\/p>\n
Prannoy, who won the bronze to become the first Indian in 41 years to win a badminton medal in the men’s singles at the Asian Games, has already a No Objection Certificate from KBSA to switch to Tamil Nadu at the national level tournaments.<\/p>\n
