Madhya Pradesh Finance Minister Jagdish Deora’s video while playing Kabaddi has been creating a stir on social media, and for all the right reasons. In the video, we see Mr. Deora, who otherwise has a reputation for being a serious politician, trying his hand at Kabaddi during a competition. The highlight of the video is when a young player grabs hold of the minister’s leg, and try as he may, Mr. Deora cannot touch the midline. The incident took place during the Saansad Khel Mahotsav, where politicians come together to enjoy sports and show their support. It’s heartening to see such a positive response to the video and the event, and we hope it inspires more people to take up sports and lead a healthier lifestyle.
The Saansad Khel Mahotsav is bringing sports and entertainment to the people of Madhya Pradesh’s Mandsaur parliamentary district. With events taking place in 95 locations over 8 assembly, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. However, not all games go according to plan. In a recent video, the 65-year-old Finance Minister seemed to be doing well in a game, but was unexpectedly removed by a player near the baulk line. Despite this setback, the Minister had nothing but praise for the student who grabbed his leg. It’s always heartwarming to see sportsmanship in action, whether it’s on the field or off.
The sports festival that is currently underway is a unique opportunity for students across India to showcase their talent and passion for traditional sports. From Kho-Kho and Kabaddi to Tug of War and Marathon, there will be no shortage of excitement and competition in the coming weeks. But more than just a chance to compete, this event has a higher purpose: to inspire the next generation of athletes and promote physical fitness and wellbeing. With thousands of schools participating, this could be the start of something truly special, where sports play a central role in shaping the future of India.
