On August 9, government ministers felicitated the Tokyo Heroes -- the Indian athletes who brought glory to the Motherland at the 2020 Olympics -- in New Delhi.
Intriguingly, the event was dominated by -- no, no, no, not by photographs of Gold Medalist Neeraj Chopra or Silver Medalists Ravi Dahiya or Mirabai Chanu or Bronze Medalists P V Sindhu or Bajrang Punia or Lovlina Borgohain or the Indian men's hockey team -- but by huge pictures of Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi!
