Aisan games

Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president P.T. Usha expressed confidence in the country’s athletes ahead of the Asian Games, saying the strong government backing and encouragement from Prime Minister Narendra Modi have given the contingent greater belief as Team India received a formal send-off in New Delhi on Tuesday.

“I am very confident. So, it is not like it was earlier. Now, the government is fully supporting the players, and our Prime Minister himself is taking a lot of interest in supporting the players and inspiring them before and after the competition,” Usha said at the send-off ceremony.

She added, “Indian players will perform very well at the Asian Games.”
