To qualify for the Olympics is a big deal in itself, and then to actually win is just something else.
So, congratulations to Yogi Adityanath. And PM Modi.
Congratulations to Hemant Biswas.
Congratulations to Anurag Thakur.
Waiting eagerly to see the Indian contingent parade at the #Olympics only to be blessed by #AnuragThakur robbing half the screen. The politics in this country disgust me…. #India pic.twitter.com/TM3uztOmGK

Congratulations to Bimal Borah.
I’m a bit confused about the photograph and gender of @LovlinaBorgohai.

Could Assam CM @himantabiswa and sports minister @BimalBorahbjp explain who they are promoting?
Any idea who designed these?
I&PR minister @Pijush_hazarika may find out.#LovlinaBorgohain #Olympics pic.twitter.com/oOfTIZCru6
And of course, once again, congratulations to the Modi ji.
Chanu’s photo is appropriately sized for a silver medalist. Modi, of course, won the gold medal and hence got the bigger billing. pic.twitter.com/WBZH0tB8Rg

This growing trend of politicians being given more importance than the athletes is disturbing, to be honest. These players fight against odds, work day in and day out to get us medals and the least we can do for them in return is give them complete attention and respect.
But then…
The last picture is from a felicitation ceremony for the silver-medal winner Mirabai Chanu, who is given less space in the poster than the PM. It’s something that’s rightfully bothering people, who have been vocal about this issue earlier too.

When will the Indian media stop licking boots of politicians? Was eagerly waiting to watch the Indian contingent march past in #Tokyo2020 only to be cropped by the face of MLA #AnuragThakur

This is pathetic! There should be a limit of boot-licking. @SonySportsIndia Go to hell! pic.twitter.com/DxVw25EBHP

Why is the PM getting ‘same space’ anyway?
— Abhishek Baxi (@baxiabhishek) July 28, 2021
It’s a sports ministry felicitation and he’s there in person. The logo of the ministry too is there already.
This would be funny if it weren’t so disrespectful.
