Meanwhile, Srinivasa Gowda played down the comparisons to Usain Bolt and said, “People are comparing me to Usain Bolt. He is a world champion, I am only running in a slushy paddy field.” It may be recalled that last year, Kiren Rijiju had invited a Madhya Pradesh man, Rameshwar Singh after a video of him completing a 100m race on barefoot in 11s went viral.
