The Indian government has reiterated its desire to host the Olympics while the 2026 Commonwealth Games remains out of the radar at the moment.
“Sports is an area the PM is very keen on. Nobody has spoken or reached out to us (about hosting the 2026 CWG) nor have we expressed any interest or gone to someone. But what we will be looking at is the future Olympics. The 2036 edition is what we are looking at, the way India is growing as an economy and our clout is growing in every field,” Sports Minister Anurag Thakur told The Hindu in an interaction with select media here on Saturday.
