Delhi's Grand Yoga Day: Reviving a Global Sport

Delhi's BJP government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, plans a major event for International Yoga Day to promote Yogasana as a competitive sport. Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat praises India's cultural heritage at the 2nd Asian Yogasana Sport Championship, highlighting India's prominence in the field.

The BJP government in Delhi, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has announced plans for a "grand event" to commemorate International Yoga Day on June 21. This marks a shift from the previous Aam Aadmi Party government, which organized no such event in the capital.

Yoga's origins in India underscore its global significance as a source of health and peace, Gupta stated at the 2nd Asian Yogasana Sport Championship held at the Indira Gandhi Stadium. The upcoming event aims to popularize yogasana as a competitive sport, promoting global health and wellness.

Union Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat emphasized the re-emergence of India's rich cultural identity, indicating that more international yogasana competitions are on the horizon, further rooting the sport in India's deep cultural traditions.
