Narendra Modi: Sports lovers across the nation have come together displaying the spirit of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'. Tamil people are warm and their culture and cuisine will make you feel at home. This a great opportunity for athletes from every strata of the society to display their talent. Tamil Nadu is a land that creates champions. I am happy that Silambam has been added to the Games and for having Velu Nachiyar as the mascot. I wish all the athletes all the best.
