Highlighting India's achievements in the field of sports this year, CM Yogi said, "In the Olympics, India won its highest tally of medals in the event.

This shows that we are making rapid progress towards shaping an aspirational and a new India." Speaking at the event, BJP national president JP Nadda said that it is a historic time for youths as India has entered into the 'Amrit Kal'.

"This is a historic time for the youths. This is because we have emerged into the Amrit Kal. In the last 75 years and even before, we have paid homage to those individuals who have contributed in making the country proud," Nadda said. Earlier in the day, Nadda and Yogi were spotted listening to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's last Mann Ki Baat address of this year, together.
