In his first reaction to the political development, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said, “I am not guilty of disrespecting daughters. If anyone is guilty of disrespecting daughters, it is Bajrang and Vinesh. And the one who wrote the script, Bhupinder Hooda is responsible for that. If they (BJP) will ask me (to campaign in the Haryana polls), I can go. One day, Congress will have to regret it…”

‘God Punished Vinesh Phogat’

“I want to ask Vinesh Phogat whether a player can give trials in 2 weight categories in a day. Can the trials be stopped for 5 hours after the weigh-in?… You did not win the wrestling, you went there by cheating. God has punished you for the same,” the former WFI President said.

Brij Bhushan made the heated remarks, alleging that the wrestlers had not ‘practised’ for over two years. “Haryana is the crown of India in the field of sports. And they stopped the wrestling activities for almost 2.5 years.”

‘Bajrang Punia went to Asian Games without Trail’

Continuing his barrage of allegations agaist Bajrang Punia, Brij Bhushan said, “Is it not true that Bajrang went to the Asian Games without trials? I want to ask those who are experts in wrestling,” Bhushan said.

‘Conspiracy Between Phogat, Punia and Congress’

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a BJP leader, alleged collusion between the ace grapplers and Haryana Congress leaders Deepender Hooda and Bhupinder Hooda. Targeting Bhupinder Hooda, Brij Bhushan alleged that the Haryana Congres leader was behind the “wrestlers movement”.

“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, 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 Bhusan told news agency PTI.
