Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, in his first reaction to Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joining Congress, said, “The move began two years ago.”
Former WFI chief Brij Bhushan criticized top Congress leaders after wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joined Congress, alleging a response to their protest two years ago over sexual harassment allegations.
“About two years ago, these sportspersons had started a conspiracy on January 18. The day this all began, I had said that this was a political conspiracy. The Congress was involved in this, Deepender Hooda was involved, and Bhupinder Hooda was involved. The entire script was written. This is not an agitation by sportspersons. And now, after about two years, it has become clear that the Congress was involved in this drama,” Brij Bhushan told ne Brij Bhushan accused Bhupinder Hooda and others from the Haryana Congress of orchestrating the “wrestlers movement,” claiming it brought shame to Haryana’s daughters. He emphasized that the responsibility lies with them, not with his group.
“What will they answer on the day when it will be proved that I was not present in Delhi on the day of the incident on which allegations are being made? They used daughters for politics and defamed daughters. They were not fighting for the honour of daughters, they were fighting for politics,” he added.
Earlier on Friday, Brij Bhushan said, “These people view politics as a breeze. They believe they can win the assembly elections in Haryana. They can run from any assembly seat in Haryana, but a minor BJP candidate will defeat them.”
He added, “If my party directs me, I am prepared to campaign in the Haryana assembly elections. I am confident I will receive strong support from their community. I am ready to campaign for the BJP candidate right in front of them.”
The former WFI president also criticised Congress leaders who joined the wrestlers’ protests, saying, “Many Congress leaders joined the protests under the guise of seeking justice for the wrestlers. One by one, wrestlers were turned into pawns. The Congress, together with the wrestlers, has undermined wrestling in this country.”
Phogat, an Olympian, will contest from Julana in Jind district, a key political region that played a significant role during the farmers’ protest against the now-repealed farm laws. Although Phogat is from Balali in Charkhi Dadri district, her in-laws’ hometown is Julana.
Brij Bhushan links Vinesh Phogat.Following his entry into Congress, Bajrang Punia was appointed as the working chairman of the All India Kisan Congress, making it unlikely that he will be a candidate in the upcoming elections.
The 90-member Haryana Assembly will hold elections on October 5, with vote counting scheduled for October 8
Brij Bhushan links Vinesh Phogat. Several top wrestlers, including Bajrang Punia, Sakshi Malik, and Vinesh Phogat, have protested to demand the arrest of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan on charges of sexually harassing female wrestlers. Facing mounting pressure, Brij Bhushan resigned from his role as WFI chief, a position he had held since 2012. In addition to the sexual harassment and mental torture allegations, wrestlers like Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya have criticised his “dictatorial” leadership style.
