Addressing the program, MP Agrawal said that the Sansad Khel Mahotsav is being organized across the country to showcase rural talent. In Chhattisgarh, this event is also being held in all parliamentary constituencies.

He said that approximately 80,000 athletes have registered in the Raipur Lok Sabha constituency, including approximately 33,000 from the Balodabazar-Bhatapara district.
