Your humility prevents you from stating the obvious, that were it not for you, this day wouldn’t have been possible. You cheered, supported, and stood by our team through its darkest days.
You, too, have brought home a medal, sir. And its colour is Gold. https://t.co/QZt465pCo6

For once, a politician who does deserve to bask in the glory!
The support given by the Odisha government to hockey is an example other state governments should follow with other sports. https://t.co/3qF9LqFH6z— Vikram Chandra (@vikramchandra) August 5, 2021
In corporate India, few names stand out when it comes to supporting Indian hockey. The Sahara group did much when no one was willing to touch the sport, @HeroMotoCorp that sponsored the hockey league, and Odisha govt @Naveen_Odisha that helped in last 3 years! Medal each!?
