Kashi celebrates Vijay’s bronze win

Varanasi: Varanasi erupted in joy after Vijay Kumar Yadav won a bronze medal in the men's 60 kg judo final at the Commonwealth Games 2022.
People from Vijay's native place were distributing sweets after the match and neighbours garlanded his parents and congratulated them. "He has struggled a lot since the start of his career and worked hard. He moved to Gorakhpur from Varanasi and then to Saharanpur and now he has reached to Commonwealth," said Vijay's father Dasharath Yadav. He said, "now we expect that after his medal, the government will help us."
Vijay's mother Chinta Devi also looked happy. "We are elated that he bagged a bronze medal. He was very hardworking from his childhood itself. He never used to tell me about his injuries," said Vijay's mother.ani
