Rahul joins Indian Team for Chess Olympiad

Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, sent his best wishes to Team India as they entered the crucial rounds of the Chess Olympiads, urging them to aim for gold and showcase India’s talent to the world.

Indian Grandmaster, D Gukesh, secured a crucial victory against Fabiano Caruana from the United States, boosting hopes of a historic gold medal for the Indian men’s team at the 45th Chess Olympiad in Budapest. The Indian women’s team is also in contention for the top prize.

Expressing his support, Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “You’re on the verge of making history today. Your relentless dedication and exceptional skills have led you to this moment. Now is the time to seize the gold and show the world what India is made of.”

Rahul Gandhi, a passionate chess player himself, has previously spoken about his love for the game and its parallels with politics. When asked about the best chess player among Indian politicians, he humorously replied, “Me.”
