CWG Gold Medalist Dilip Gavit Waits Over Two Hours but Misses Meeting with Raj Thackeray
Para-athlete Dilip Gavit, who won gold in the men's 100m T47 at the 2026 Commonwealth Games, was invited to meet Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray during his Nashik visit. Despite waiting for over two hours, Gavit and his coach Vaijanath Kale left without meeting Thackeray, as MNS workers said he was busy. The MNS has not issued a response. Gavit's recent victory marked a historic one-two finish for India in para athletics at the Games.
