Home Minister Amit Shah in Ahmedabad to unveil anthem and mascot of the 36th National Games
Gujarat’s capital Ahmedabad will host the world’s biggest sports city, Home Minister Amit Shah has declared.
“Ten years ago, when Modiji was the chief minister here, he started the Khel Mahakumbh. At that time Gujarat was nowhere in sports on the global map,” Shah said while unveiling the anthem and mascot for the 36th National Games at the EKA Arena, TransStadia in Ahmedabad.
He added: “Now, we have the Narendra Modi Stadium, the largest stadium in the world, and very soon we will have the world’s biggest sports city too,” Mr Shah said, addressing over 10,000 people at the majestic venue.
“Once upon a time, we Gujjus were mostly seen as just businessmen. But Modiji started Khel Mahakumbh 11 years back and that event has become so big that as many as 55 lakh youngsters took part in this edition. We even offered a whopping Rs 29 crore as prize money to the winners,” Gujarat chief minister Bhupendra Patel said on the occasion.
