Speaking at a gala ceremony at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera area, he praised Indian athletes for winning medals in various international events such as the Olympics in recent times.
“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,” he said in his address to the cheering crowd.
