Mahavir Phogat said on Vinesh contesting the election
Speaking to the media on wrestler and his niece Vinesh Phogat, who are contesting the Haryana election on a Congress ticket, Mahavir Phogat said it would have been better if she had contested after the 2028 Olympics. “My personal opinion is that he should have played in the 2028 Olympics and won a gold medal for the country,” he said. She performed well in these Olympics, but unfortunately got eliminated. However, the people of the country loved him very much and expected a medal from him. His decision to contest the elections has caused a lot of damage to the people.
Mahavir Phogat said Vinesh had no previous plans to join politics and contest elections. Also Bajrang had no such plan. Both had never mentioned this before. If he has taken this decision now, he must have taken it very carefully. I don’t know how Congress convinced him to contest. If Vinesh decided to enter politics, he should have entered politics after 2028 Olympics. Vinesh is contesting from Julana Assembly on a Congress ticket.

Accept the party’s decision
On Babita Phogat not getting BJP ticket, father Mahaveer Phogat said that not everyone can get ticket. Whatever decision the party takes should be accepted. It was expected that BJP would give ticket to Babita from Charkhi Dadri, but the party has given ticket to Sunil Sangwan in her place. In the last election, Babita contested on a BJP ticket, but faced a crushing defeat.
