HIGHLIGHTE­D USAIN BOLT’S DEDICATION: MP

- DC CORRESPOND­ENT NEW DELHI, AUG. 29

BJP MP and Dalit leader Udit Raj on Monday triggered a row after he tweeted that Jamaican athlete Usain Bolt won nine Olympics gold despite being born in poverty after his trainer advised him to eat beef twice a day. As a row erupted, he tried to scotch it, saying he merely repeated what Bolt had said and all he had meant was Indian athletes can excel despite adversitie­s and they should not blame circumstan­ces for their failures.
