Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Sanjay Singh introduced on Saturday that wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia have actually signed up with the Congress celebration, verifying that the political celebration lagged the wrestlers ‘demonstration. Singh specified that the professional athletes ‘demonstration versus previous WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was managed by Congress leader Deepender Hooda and his household.
“They joined the Congress, so this proves that they were behind that protest. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was associated with the BJP. I am not associated with any party or person but they still opposed me too… This whole protest was politically motivated,” he claimed.
“This was bound to happen. It is known to the whole country that this entire protest was happening at the behest of Congress and its mastermind was Deepender Hooda, the Hooda family. The foundation of this protest was laid on the day when our Prime Minister praised Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, saying that wrestling is in safe hands,” he included.
He even more specified that the demonstration interfered with battling tasks in India, jeopardizing the nation’s success at theParis Olympics “There was no wrestling activity for two years during the Olympic year, which reduced our chances of winning more medals,” Singh informed press reporters.
“They started the protest and Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh distanced himself from wrestling, so the issue should have ended there, but it was politically motivated and Congress was behind it. This entire conspiracy was also hatched because 4-5 wrestling medals were going to come in the Olympics. The protest also affected those medals. There was no wrestling activity for 2 years in the Olympic year, so due to that, we got fewer medals. Our wrestlers were not able to practice… Now these people are not going to have any impact on our wrestling association,” the WFI head of state claimed.
Earlier, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh claimed that the presentation was a “conspiracy” by the Congress, led byBhupinder Hooda He said that the Jantar Mantar demonstration, which started in January 2023, was not a real showing off activity.
Phogat and Punia signed up with Congress prior to the Haryana setting up political elections, with Phogat competing the Julana constituency and Punia as functioning chairman of the All India Kisan Congress.
