Former tennis star Leander Paes joins BJP…. Said- PM Modi handed over the responsibility of 2036 Olympics

Kolkata. Before the assembly elections to be held in West Bengal this month, the politics has become more heated. In such a situation, former Indian tennis star Leander Paes said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave me a clear vision of working for youth and sports. He has given me the responsibility related to India’s bid for the 2036 Olympic Games. I have to work hard with a team to bring the Olympics to this country. Paes said this while talking to the media for the first time after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday.

He said that the Prime Minister has given him a clear vision to work for youth and sports. Now his aim is to make India host the 2036 Olympics with a strong team. Paes said that if India hosts the Olympics, it will further strengthen the country’s identity in the world and promote sports.

Four paces also contributed in hosting the Commonwealth Games

Paes further said that he also wants to contribute to the hosting of the 2030 Commonwealth Games, especially for a possible event in Ahmedabad. Along with this, he stressed on improving sports facilities in his home state West Bengal.

Called myself a Bengali boy

During this, describing himself as a Bengali boy, Paes said that there is a lack of indoor tennis stadium and good sports facilities in West Bengal. His dream is to bring positive changes in the lives of 25 crore children of the country in the coming 20 years and connect them with sports.

Paes gave the example of these countries

Paes also said that India will have to adopt a strong sports culture to progress in sports. Giving examples, Paes said that countries like America, China, Japan, Australia and Britain, which are economically strong, also win the most medals in the Olympics.

He said that India will also have to invest in sports infrastructure, training and developing players at the grassroots level. According to Paes, sports and sports education can make India a new power and the development of young players will play the most important role in fulfilling the country’s Olympic dream.
