Lucknow, May 25: A lot of upcoming shooters from the hamlets of Uttar Pradesh including Seema Tomar, silver medal winner at Dorset World Cup, owe their success to Rahul Gandhi as the young Congress MP donated his pistols for their training.
Rahul, who trained under Dr Raj Pal before leaving for political shores, gave two of his air pistols to his coach and the gesture proved quite beneficial for the budding shooters.
Raj Pal has since been training aspiring shooters in his institute in Johadi village in Baghpat district of UP.
Tomar, who initially trained with Rahul’s pistol, has not met him yet but want to personally thank him besides requesting him for more help in providing better infrastructure and facilities for sportspersons.
