PV Sindhu heavily criticised for Tweet to Narendra Modi after Korea Open win

It was a wonderful win for PV Sindhu last night, as she took revenge for her World Championships final loss against Nozomi Okuhara, beating her in three tantalising sets of Badminton.

The duo gave it their all on court, scampering from one part of the court to another and using all their guile and skill to outwit and outplay the opponent.

While in Glasgow it was Okuhara who played the important points better, last night it was PV Sindhu, who rose to the occasion when required and kept her nerve during the dying stages of the match, despite palpable exhaustion.

India celebrated Sindhu’s win, pouring out love for her on social media but one tweet from Sindhu did not quite bode well with her fans.

Sindhu dedicated her Korea Open win to Narendra Modi, who was celebrating his 67th birthday yesterday.

Narendra Modi had earlier tweeted regarding Sindhu’s win, saying that India was immensely proud of her achievement.

“Congratulations to @Pvsindhu1 on emerging victorious in the Korea Open Super Series. India is immensely proud of her accomplishment: PM,” Modi tweeted.

Sindhu responded to Modi  wishing him on his birthday and thanking him for all the work that he is doing for the nation.

“I dedicate this Victory for our beloved Prime Minister Shri Modiji on his Birthday for his untiring and self less services to our Country. (sic)” Sindhu said.

But Sindhu’s tweet did not go well with the fans who felt that she should have dedicated her victory to her coach and not the Prime Minister of the nation, who essentially had no role(direct or indirect) to play in Sindhu’s win.

While Sindhu was merely wishing Narendra Modi back, it was very distasteful of people to bring in a political angle here
