Prime Minister Narendra Modi may have given the mantra of looking for opportunity in the crisis but it’s Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal who makes the most of it.

It s a welcome step if they re thinking of it but at the same time, Arvind Kejriwal should have been in discussion with IOA first. They can send an expression of interest but bidding is a very different process. I will say it s a welcome move but Delhi alone can t stage the Olympics. Multiple cities have to be involved, there are many things involved behind any competition, Batra told ANI.
