Rae Bareli: On December 1 last year, Sonia Gandhi promised ace athlete Sudha Singh that her demand for a state- of-the-art sports complex in Rae Bareli will be granted. And within two months, that promise was delivered when on Friday, the Congress president laid the foundation stone for the first-ever sports complex in Navodaya Vidyalaya in Rae Bareli.
Sitting next to her was a beaming Sudha Singh, who also went home richer by Rs 11 lakh. Sudha Singh recently won a gold medal in Guangzhou in the steeplechase discipline and is also the national record holder for it.
When Sudha earlier met Sonia Gandhi, she had expressed the need for a sports facility for Rae Bareli and told her how in the absence of one she had no choice but to stay away from her family and train in sports colleges of Lucknow and Agra.
