India's newly-appointed Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju Friday said he will carry forward the programmes of his predecessor Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, saying continuity and team work are the main ingredients of success.
"There is something called continuity. Things from the past should be carried forward and new things should be added if it is good," Rijiju replied when asked about whether he would continue Rathore's programmes.
"The Khelo India programme which the Prime Minister started we will take forward. We will continue to promote traditional sports alongside modern sports."
"It is an important ministry which can galvanize the youth of this nation. Youth is the power of this country."
"Olympics obviously will be our main target because it is the pinnacle of all sporting events."
