AAP creating confusion to deceive students on development of sports: Sachdeva
The Delhi BJP chief said before the 2020 Assembly elections, the Arvind Kejriwal government announced plans to establish a Sports University in Delhi.
As part of its launch on Monday, Indian Premier League’s new franchise Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) unveiled its logo, which was inspired by ancient Indian mythology.
“The mythical bird Garuda — who is a protector and enthroned with the power to move swiftly, has inspired us to create the winged emblem of the team. Garuda is omnipresent in every Indian culture and sub-culture,” LSG said in a statement.
“The tri-colour wings of the entity, symbolically represent Lucknow Super Giants’ pan-India appeal. The body of the bird has been formed by a blue coloured bat to signify the game of cricket, there is a red ball with an orange seam too. It is like an auspicious ‘Jay tilak’,” it added.
