Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo: London 2012 Olympic bronze medallist Gagan Narang has entered the fray for the presidency of the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), setting up a contest with current chief Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo in the federation’s upcoming elections.

Narang’s candidacy gained momentum after BJP MP and industrialist Naveen Jindal exited the race last week. His nomination was formally put forward by Ajay Patel, senior vice president of the Indian Olympic Association.

In an unusual turn, Narang has also thrown his hat into the ring for the post of vice president, joining a crowded contest featuring six aspirants, including sitting secretary general Kunwar Sultan Singh.
