The Story in Brief
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met India's Commonwealth Games 2026 medallists at his residence in New Delhi on Wednesday. He congratulated the athletes for their performance at the Games, which were held in Glasgow, Scotland. Times Now reports that the meeting included a video of the champions, with Modi praising their efforts.
The Indian contingent brought home multiple medals from the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Among those present was weightlifter Mirabai Chanu. The PM has often used such gatherings to highlight the government's Khelo India scheme and its support for athletes.
The Indian Opinion
Indian sports fans may feel a familiar twinge of cynicism when they see a photo-op with the PM that skips over the actual gap in training budgets and grassroots coaching. The real test is not the selfie on the lawn but whether the government will release the Rs 500-crore National Sports Development Fund promised for 2027-28. Until then, these handshakes ring hollow.
