Mirabai Chanu was having problems and we took care and she went on to bag the first medal for India in Tokyo. PV Sindhu bagged a medal for India in Rio as well as Tokyo," Union Minister said. "Yogi Adityanath government felicitated the Olympics, medallists, by giving them cash rewards. In Meerut Yogi government is making a Sports University and I am thankful to the government. Earlier there was a crime in UP and now it sports all the way. Earlier there used to be Dange and now it's Dangal. I declare Sansad Khel Spardha open," he added. He said, "Players have come to participate in 12 sports in this event, I welcome and congratulate all the players who are participating in the games. PM Modi said that these children are working to win medals not only for themselves but also for the country and society.
