No bad blood towards normal Gujjus who won't benefit from all this, applies to 99.9% of the state's people. But if a few billionaires are benefitting, if Reliance gets a push, if infrastructure contracts are preferentially allotted to say Adani, we have every right to ask whether decisions  have been taken in right earnest or to benefit the nation. 

 

IMO if we want to reach an acceptable level in sports (Olympics, Asian Games ones), major focus should be on the Punjab-Haryana-Delhi-Rajasthan (partially) belt. Secondary centres in pahadi regions, North East etc.

 

Gujarat has high ceiling in cricket, as does Mumbai, TN has chess/tennis, Telugu states with badminton, Kerala in track/football, tribal regions in archery/hockey, Bengal/Goa in football etc. But when it comes to a diversity of sports, these states don't cut it.

As is the norm, Haryana helped us get our first medal in Paris. Haryana, Punjab sportspersons made a few more finals, another medal round today by a Haryana/Punjab team in mixed 10m air pistol. These two states will give us 5-6 medals at least by end of the games. 

 

Let us see how many from Guj. Can they justify the above table? 

 

Btw India bidding for 2036 Olympics, campaign entrusted on Ambanis, even had IOC President in their residence recently. Choice of venue, Ahmedabad 2036!!!!!  In WC also they hosted the money spinner IndoPak game (despite drama about isolating Pak), and the farcical WC final. 

 

No they can't. 3 athletes from guj. 

 

25 odd from har and punj. 15 odd from TN. So nope

No it's not obvious it's pathetic immoral and disingenuous is he gujrat pm? He is Indias pm right? Only people who have similar morals will condone this. Such loose morals will land people in trouble.

Look at this guy for instance.

TN and some other states may have sent many athletes but none of them is close to winning any medal.

 

Haryana, Punjab in a different stratosphere, only they are winning or coming close to winning medals. Gujarat is a non-entity, joke that they get so much funding. 

 

In a fair world, you reward a performing state like Haryana which is an Olympic medal winning factory despite 2.5 crores population.

if the funding from Khelo Bharat in majority has gone to Gujarat ( or a lot of it) and there is no return of investment in the number of athletes or medals then the funding should be minimal and id rather that money be pumped into Punjab/Haryana for Boxing/wrestling and hockey + in NE for finding gymnasts. Gujjis have no interest in sport or military, they just want to go to America or have businesses. Not sure why non related stuff to this is reserved for them- develop cities economically, but dont give them money for something they aint interested in.

Clear bias at play. But many choose to deliberately ignore. Invest that much in Haryana, Punjab and they will give you many more medals in 2032 or 2036 Games.

Performance required to be eligible for competition. 

But compensation can be linked to performance at podium for individual for shre . 

State performance otoh should be based on how their involvement enables more athletes to reach Olympics. You want more athelete at that level.

This is 6000 cr project different from 583 cr project from Khelo India.

GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat government, which is preparing to make a bid for Ahmedabad to host the 2036 Olympic Games, has readied the master plan for the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave. It is expected to be ready in three years and promises to be the country’s largest integrated sports infrastructure precinct.

Because it's done by their favorite party.

 

If you question, they will show how others are doing same.

This sports complex is hardly 8 km from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardar_Vallabhbhai_Patel_Sports_Enclave which is supposed to be largest sports complex in India.

 

You really needed a sports complex next to largest sports complex of India?

If Its part of Olympic bid planning. It has to be at close locations. Olympic Complexes dont win you medals. You win medals by Research in Medical Science, Coaches and facilities at grass root level

Then the Naranpura complex of 584 cr should have been funded by Ahmedabad Municipal corporation or some other scheme of central government and not under Khelo India scheme.

 

Bigger sports complex in motera was funded by AMC for 6000 cr.

 

Why is central govt funding ambition of one state to bid for Olympics under a scheme which was not meant for hosting Olympics?
