Mentioning about lack of sports infrastructure in his constituency, Tiwari said that there is not a single sports complex for the population of 50 lakh people. “I have organised cricket matches under Khelo India with the participation of 6800 youth in 280 Mandals of 14 Districts of Delhi in which the youth thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying  that “Oorjit Mann, Oorjit Tann-Mann, Prafullit or Dillon Ka Mel Kar De, Safal Jag Ke Sangathan ka Karishma yeh Khel Karde”.  

Expressing his views on sports and sportsmanship and the bill introduced by the Central government in parliament, Tiwari said that when the sports person are awarded, the youth get attracted towards the games.

Praising Modi government on Khelo India programme, Tiwari said, “I have been myself sports teacher and the objective of this government is to encourage sports through the Khelo India programme in India.”
