"Delhi will bid for 2048 Summer Olympics"- Arvind Kejriwal

The chief minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, announced on Tuesday that the city will bid for the 2048 Summer Olympics.During the budget presentation, deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia opened up on their desire to host the 2048 Summer Olympics in Delhi. The Delhi government plans to develop the city's infrastructure accordingly.There are still 27 years left for the 39th Summer Olympics in 2048. But it only seems logical that the announcement has been made well in advance since venues for the two Summer Olympics following the Tokyo Games have already been confirmed.

While Paris will host the 2024 Olympics, Los Angeles has been awarded the 2028 Summer Games.

It will take 15 years to build adequate infrastructure: Delhi deputy CM Manish Sisodia

Deputy CM Sisodia further highlighted the reasons behind bidding for the 2048 Summer Olympics:Indian athletes have been doing great at the international level, and having India host the Summer Olympics will serve as a great motivation.The capital of India, Delhi, has developed its sports infrastructure facilities over the years. In 2010, Delhi hosted its first Commonwealth Games. Delhi has also hosted the Asian Games in 1951 and 1982 previously.

Hosting Summer Olympics will be a big opportunity for the country and its capital.
