New Delhi : Union Minister of Tourism and Culture Ambika Soni Thursday rejected suggestions that her Ministry’s association with A1 GP Team India was a promotional one and said it is the team that saw ‘Incredible India’ campaign as a means to connect with the countrymen.
” Incredible India’s association with the A1 GP Team India is not a promotional one, rather, it was the team and Narain Karthikeyan’s own emotions that brought about the association. They found Incredible India as means to connect with the nation,” said Soni here on the sidelines of a meeting with the champion driver.
Karthikeyan, the first Indian to win an A1 GP race in Zhuhai, China, recently, concurred with the Minster and said that the team’s association with the campaign gave them a lot of synergy.
“My link up with Incredible India campaign is more about representing the nation and putting it on top of the world map,” Karthikeyan said.
The 30-year-old driver also expressed his happiness at bringing laurels for the nation and said many more triumphs will follow.
