Kapil Dev: 'Modi Ji you won the hearts of all sportsmen'
It is unclear whether any indian prime minister has ever stated that he or she wishes to foster a sports culture in the country and urged parents to support youngsters who desire to participate in sports. Modi Ji may be the first to do so. The prime minister has not only asked parents to encourage their children to participate in sports, but he has also demonstrated how to do so by taking an active interest in sports and our athletes. kapil dev former indian cricketer said.
There were no speeches or formality at the Prime Minister's interaction with Olympians at the Olympics. It would have been hard for him to question Bajrang Punia about his determination to compete despite his injury, or ravi Dahiya about the bite he received, or Neeraj Chopra about how he knew he had won the instant he threw the javelin. Modi Ji also held the microphone for several athletes who couldn't tell if it was on or off!
The prime minister insisted that the focus remained on sports and that it was about the athletes who competed for india at the Olympics, not officials or bureaucrats. CA In bringing fencing to the forefront in india, Bhavani Devi had blazed new trails. Modi Ji's pictures of him serving churma to Neeraj Chopra and ice cream to pv sindhu may have gone viral. While they are pleasant memories, the main lesson is that the person in charge of India's democracy believes sports and sporting culture are important.
This is what promotes the development of a sporting culture, which will be one of Modi Ji's greatest legacies.
As a sportsperson, I am overjoyed to see the sports community receiving love and compassion from the Prime Minister.
I'd like to add that if we are to win more medals in the future, we must focus on sports infrastructure, and there should be no charge on the sporting equipment that elite athletes require.
He added, "Modi Ji you won the hearts of all the sports fraternity. jai Hind."
