HOW the SELECTORS ARE DOING PARTIALITY in the Maharashtra State Selection Procedure… Just read the news published in Yawatmal..daily Lokmat..

In under 19 Tournament, Maharashtra Jr. College of Kolhapur team won the final match with 3-1 goals against Pune team. KUFA’s Ajinkya Nalawade scored the second goal. But he was NOT SELECTED in the MAHARSHTRA FOOTBALL TEAM. The reason is….he is a footballer of KUFA. can you Believe this..? but this is the FACT….One of the selector( CHOTA CHETAN ) told Ajinkya Nalawade directly that he will not be selected as he is footballer of KUFA….How this CHOTA CHETAN is jealous about KUFA is clearly indicate here..
