Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated Bindyarani Devi for winning a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and said this accomplishment has made every Indian very happy.
Bindyarani Devi raised her game to secure a silver in the women’s 55kg category, providing the country’s fourth weightlifting medal in as many categories at the Commonwealth Games.
”Congratulations to Bindyarani Devi for winning a Silver medal at CWG, Birmingham. This accomplishment is a manifestation of her tenacity and it has made every Indian very happy,” Modi said in a tweet. ”I wish her the very best for her future endeavours,” he added.
Soon after Mirabai Chanu’s gold, Bindyarani Devi created a Games record by lifting 116kg in the clean and jerk after a personal best of 86kg in the snatch section, totalling 202 kg on Saturday. The gold medal expectedly went to Nigeria’s Adijat Adenike Olarinoye, who lifted 203kg (92kg+111kg).
