PM Narendra Modi gives success mantra to Indian contingent

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday interacted with India’s Commonwealth Games-bound athletes ahead of the multi-sport event which starts from July 28 to August 8 in Birmingham, UK. A total of 215 Indian athletes are participating in 141 events across 19 sporting disciplines.

In a light-hearted interaction, PM Modi highlighted the struggle, grit and determination of the athletes as he urged them to forget expectations and focus only on giving their best at the CWG 2022. The Prime Minister said that you must have heard the old dialogue,”Koi nhi hai takkar mein, kahan pade ho chakkar mein (No one can compete with you, why to worry about it). You have to carry this attitude and play.”

PM Modi also said, “What you people have to do, how to play. All of you are expert in this. I will just say this- Play with your heart, with all your strength and without any tension.”
