Gonda. Reacting to women wrestler Vinesh Phogat joining Congress, former President of Wrestling Association of India and former MP of Bharatiya Janata Party Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh claimed that it has been proved true that the movement of women wrestlers against him was sponsored by Congress.
In his address at a smartphone distribution program in a private school in Dumriadih, Gonda, the former MP said, “When the women wrestlers had leveled allegations against me, I had already said that this is a conspiracy of the Congress. Big leaders of Haryana Deepender Hooda and Bhupendra Singh Hooda are conspiring against us.” He said, “What I had said on the first day, I stand by it even today and today the whole country is saying the same thing. Now I do not need to say much about this.” He said, “I will not say much on this issue, otherwise this matter will reach Haryana immediately. At this time the whole country is waiting for Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh to say something on this issue.”
It is worth noting that before the Haryana assembly elections, Phogat resigned from the Indian Railways job citing personal reasons and joined the Congress on Friday. Apart from Phogat, former Olympian Bajrang Punia also joined the Congress. Congress has shared a photo of Rahul Gandhi with Phogat and Punia on its official ‘X’ handle.
