Vinesh Phogat: Wrestler and Congress leader Vinesh Phogat has made a big claim regarding the Paris Olympics. He has also expressed his displeasure over the photo shared by Indian Olympic Association chief PT Usha. Phogat, who reached the wrestling finals, was disqualified due to her weight. Recently he has joined Congress. The party has given him ticket from Julana seat of Haryana.
When Phogat was admitted in the hospital, Usha had come to meet him. During that time the IOA Chief had also taken a photograph with Phogat. There was a lot of discussion about the photo on social media. Actually, Phogat’s health was affected due to his efforts to lose weight and he had to be admitted to the hospital. Now the wrestler has alleged that Usha has done politics by sharing the photo.
According to media reports, he said, ‘I don’t know what support I got there.’ He said, ‘PT Usha ma’am had come to the hospital to meet me. A photo was also clicked…. As you said, a lot happens in politics behind closed doors. Similarly, politics took place there (Paris) also. So my heart broke. Otherwise there were many people who were saying don’t leave wrestling.
Regarding the photo, he has alleged that the photo was taken without his knowledge and was shared on social media. He said, ‘You are in a hospital bed, where you don’t know how life is going on outside. You are going through the worst phase of life. In such a situation, just to show that you are standing with me, you are taking photographs without telling me.
He said, ‘Then by posting the photo on social media you are saying that we are standing together. Such support is not expressed. What was that more than show off?
