Lucky charm?

Bihar Finance Minister Abdul Bari Siddiqui is being seen as a "lucky charm" by colleagues in the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Siddiqui attended the Rio Olympics as the vice-president of the Badminton Association of India. He had also attended the London Olympics in 2012 in the same capacity. In London, Indian player Saina Nehwal won a bronze medal; in Rio, PV Sindhu bagged a silver medal. "Maybe we should have a felicitation ceremony for him," said an RJD leader. A Bharatiya Janata Party leader had a suggestion for Siddiqui's future as a sports administrator. "He should be made the president of the hockey federation. The hockey team needs some luck badly."
