NEW DELHI: Mahavir Singh Phogat, the uncle of Vinesh Phogat and a former wrestling coach, stated that since Vinesh entered politics, his daughter Sangeeta Phogat will now carry on his dream because he has already started preparing her for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The spouse of Sangeeta, wrestler Bajrang Punia, who won bronze in the Olympics in Tokyo, and former wrestler Vinesh joined the Congress last Friday.The former will run for office in the Jind district’s Julana.
“Vinesh should have played LA Olympics but now that she has moved to politics, we have started preparing Sangeeta Phogat for the 2028 Games, she will bring a medal for India. Because of Jantar Mantar protest, Sangeeta missed nationals. Babita Phogat‘s knees are not fine, so no point of her coming back to mat,” Mahavir Phogat told IANS.
The Dronacharya Awardee declared his opposition to Vinesh’s plan to enter politics and run in the Haryana elections the following month. He remarked that we wanted her to represent India with a gold medal at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
“I wanted Vinesh to prepare herself for the 2028 Olympics. The decision Vinesh has made to contest the elections is entirely up to her and her husband (Somvir). We had no desire for her to enter politics. I am not happy with her decision to join politics. The entire nation was expecting Vinesh to bring home the gold in 2028, and I was hoping for the same,” said Mahavir Phogat.
“She entered politics, might become a legislator or even a minister, but if she had won a gold medal in the Olympics, it would be remembered for life,” he added.
Additionally, he has charged Deepender Hooda and former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda of plotting to introduce Vinesh Phogat into politics.
“Everyone was disappointed 2024 Olympics heartbreak, and to take advantage of that, (Bhupinder) Hooda and Deepender (Hooda) pushed Vinesh into politics. Initially, Vinesh did not want to contest the elections.
Vinesh was disqualified from the final of the women’s 50kg freestyle competition in Paris, France, due to being 100 grams overweight. As a result, she was unable to compete for a gold medal.
Vinesh announced her intention to withdraw from wrestling on social media following the devastating event at the large sports venue.
