Do you recall the name of the Sports Minister in Manmohan Singh Govt?
Jee haan. It was #MSGill
🔹He knew zilch regarding sports
🔹He could not recognise P.Gopichand and asked his officers "Who is he?Why is he here?Ask him to go away"
🔹When any talented athlete approached him +
+ him for help, MS Gill used to say "You must get educated and build a proper career. Sports is just a pastime".
How that old moron killed aspirations of youth wanting to excel at sports!!
Moreover he told stunned MPs in the House "Dont ask me questions. File RTI and get answers"
Contrast Manmohan's approach and Modi's approach
🔹Sports Minister is young army man and Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Rathore
🔹Rathore's #KheloIndioa has identified potential Olympic champs
🔹Manmohan played to the gallery and nominated Sachin Tendulkar to the Rajya Sabha whereas Modi nominated Olympic medallist MC Mary Kom
