New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated 36th National Games and said that his government has cleaned up the system.
This is after 7 years that the games are being organised and for the first time Gujarat is hosting the event. There will be more than 7000 participants.
There was nepotism and corruption in sports – PM Modi
“The country’s sportsmen were capable in the past too. This movement of winning medals could have started earlier too. But, instead of professionalism, there was nepotism and corruption in sports. We have cleaned up the system and pumped in new confidence among the youth,” said PM Modi in his address to the cheering crowd.
