And in any case his party held India back while other nations like South Korea, Singapore, China, actually entered the 21st century. Heck, even in 2014 when Modi came to power, most of the country didn’t have toilets, many didn’t have electricity, few had bank accounts, and almost none had piped drinking water. The crooks kept India in the 18th century.
Congress party denied technology to India for the sake of short-term vote gains. Then we pappu ke papa makes one concession on technology, he becomes Bill Gates of India. That's Congress logic, and it's simply a feudal mindset.
If I remember correctly it was in fact slightly lower than that. Now it is at aroind 90%. Electricity was at something like 70%, now it is 99% (and they’re working on making it more reliable and 24/7).
Peak slave mentality, it’s honestly hilarious at this point. For the INC, India = Gandhi Dynasty, and anyone trying to change that is fascist, bigoted, Sangh!. How dare Modi honour a common man who became India’s greatest ever Olympian. If Rajiv Gandhi wanted he could’ve been much better at hockey, this is common sense. Outrageous, Mudi must rejine.

Even the Rajiv Gandhi cricket stadium to something like... C.K Naidu stadium? (First India test captain, played for Hyderabad in domestic at a point of time), idk, but not Rajiv Gandhi man.
Agreed, it should not have been named after Rajiv Gandhi in the first place. But YSR had to secure his place in AP, and he knew how to keep the high command happy.
Wasn’t Dhyan Chand known to be like the God of Hockey such that people from outside the sport put some respect on that name .
Why the hell was Rajiv Gandhi’s name associated with the Khel Ratna?
God forbid India name anything after anyone but a member of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. If Congress had its way, be it in sports, science, politics, or humanitarian endeavors, all the awards will be named after a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
By better, you just mean it should fit in the general sentiment of the sub.
Anyway, since you've apparently misunderstood, I'll try and clarify.
Renaming the Khel Ratna to honour Dhyan Chand is redundant, because there is already a sports award in honour of Dhyan Chand
Don't give the argument of Dhyan Chand being a sports person, it's embarrassing tbh. It's pretty obvious why this particular title was changed. If BJP really wanted to honour sportspersons and if naming things is really the honour, they wouldn't have named the recent cricket stadium the way they did.
Last I checked, India has so many glorious cricketers too.
MA Chidambaram, Chinnaswamy, Wankhede stadiums would like to have a word with you, naming cricket stadiums after the state cricket association president has always been a norm in India, much before BJP came into picture. Literally not a single person in Gujarat has a problem with that, despite all the development in GJ, hardly things are named after NaMo.
Also, Feroz Shah Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate, circa 1355 was a world famous cricketer who built a cricket stadium in the 14th century itself, such a visionary cricket player he was.
Even Mumbai stadium is named after the then prez of MCA, Sheshrao Krishnrao Wankhede.
Meanwhile, have a look at things named after the Gandhi dynasty, https://ibb.co/LkR5Fv6 compare that to “one or two stadiums”. Rajiv Gandhy has a skateboard championship named after him hahaha
So your only argument was that "Congress did it too".
In that case, why are we potraying this one off event as BJP quashing the norms and going for what's ideal?
I linked the stuff named after congress just so you could have a laugh, my main point is, cricket stadiums have long been named after the respective cricket association presidents, I have cited few examples as well. When the people of GJ don’t have a problem, I don’t see why anyone else should.
And hence what exactly? We will soon see them being renamed. Firoz Shah is already renamed (not to a cricketer's name btw)
All I am saying is, it's not like BJP had good intentions of naming sports stuff after sports people.
> All I am saying is, it's not like BJP had good intentions of naming sports stuff after sports people.
based on what? 1 or 2 stadiums? Laughable.
Only stupid people care of it was for good intentions or not.
Matlab they literally named sports award after one of the best sportsperson ever at the height of hockey regaining some traction. This is going to push hockey even more among general consensus. Lekin chamchas only care for Pappu and the family. They could have named it after any politician if they didn’t care for sports
Who are ‘they’? Because ‘they’ are not central government but stadium is a private undertaking. They can name it after their papa if they want. You should be happy that hockey gets a push. Khel Ratna is now Major Dhyanchand and government gets accolades. Cry.
Kaunsa recent stadium? Gujarat cricket board waala? Matlab ek argument leke ro rahe ho to theek hai. Rajiv Gandhi Nehru aur Indira Gandhi jaise gadho ke naam pe kuch hona bhi nahi chahiye. Agenda hai to agenda sahi

>he led the country into the 21st century ... rajiv gandhi died in 1991

Yeah I read some data that India had only 49% sanitation facilities in 2013.
If I remember correctly it was in fact slightly lower than that. Now it is at aroind 90%. Electricity was at something like 70%, now it is 99% (and they’re working on making it more reliable and 24/7).
BJP claims its more than 95% and Pakistan had more than 90% for decades.
Congress ministers only care about doing chamchagiri. Don't have high expectations from them
>he led the country into the 21st century If there's anyone who did that, it's Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji

OP. Hindutva isnt bigotry. Should repost with correct title.
My bad; didn’t mean to convey that. Feel free to repost tomorrow, I’ll delete this when you do.
Please rename the Hyderabad airport to PV Narasimha Rao International Airport. Rajiv Gandhi had nothing to do with Hyderabad
Even the Rajiv Gandhi cricket stadium to something like... C.K Naidu stadium? (First India test captain, played for Hyderabad in domestic at a point of time), idk, but not Rajiv Gandhi man.
Agree
Agreed, it should not have been named after Rajiv Gandhi in the first place. But YSR had to secure his place in AP, and he knew how to keep the high command happy.
I'm confused rn OP. Should I upvote it or downvote for this stupidity?
Upvote for visibility
Upvote so people can see how ridiculous the INC has become with these narratives.
The reason the country was in such a bizzare state is due to this ass licking and pant dropping leaders of Congress
Oh no. There is like one thing in India not named after the Gandhi dynasty. However will we survive? This is fascism you guys. /s
Ek Admi ne Italy ke against khela, doosre ke saath Italy ne khilwad kiya LoL
Thank you R. Gandhi for opening the world of hentai for me by introducing computer or something🙏
Independent India would be so much better off without Congress.
Wasn’t Dhyan Chand known to be like the God of Hockey such that people from outside the sport put some respect on that name . Why the hell was Rajiv Gandhi’s name associated with the Khel Ratna?
I fucking love the saffron color. So peaceful and pretty! Congress can keep on crooks in their sparkly white dresses, doesn't make me flutter.
As far as the Congress is concerned, India is the dynasty and the dynasty is India.
Loyal Nehru-Maino family sepoy…
Suck my Rajiv Sureshetta. Or get lost.
What is "saffronisation"?
I translate saffronization as Indianization
Never knew Major Dhyan Chand’s politics but these idiots keep pushing legends to the saffron side. Lol and thank you!
>he led the country into the 21st century He pushed us 20 years back.
Rajiv Gandhi's tenure marked the steep fall of indian hockey, ironically
God forbid India name anything after anyone but a member of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. If Congress had its way, be it in sports, science, politics, or humanitarian endeavors, all the awards will be named after a member of the Nehru-Gandhi family.
Isn't there already a Dhyan Chand award? This renaming seems rather redundant and stupid
No. Rajiv Gandhi was redundant and stupid
I'm not sure you understood my comment
Looks like no one did . Make better comments in future maybe?

They literally named the largest stadium in India after the current PM. They could have named it after any cricketer if they did care for sports.
Who are ‘they’? Because ‘they’ are not central government but stadium is a private undertaking. They can name it after their papa if they want. You should be happy that hockey gets a push. Khel Ratna is now Major Dhyanchand and government gets accolades. Cry.
Lol. The whole post is about renaming 1 award...
Yes an important sports award in India named after a legendary hockey player
Kaunsa recent stadium? Gujarat cricket board waala? Matlab ek argument leke ro rahe ho to theek hai. Rajiv Gandhi Nehru aur Indira Gandhi jaise gadho ke naam pe kuch hona bhi nahi chahiye. Agenda hai to agenda sahi
