‘Bhupendra Hooda succeeded in creating a rift in the family…’, Babita Phogat got angry on Vinesh’s entry into politics

Questions are being raised within the family about Vinesh Phogat leaving wrestling and entering the political arena. Recently, Vinesh Phogat joined Congress and the party has also made her its candidate from Julana seat. But this decision of Vinesh is causing resentment in the family. Mahavir Phogat has already expressed his displeasure over this decision of Vinesh. But now the name of his sister Babita Phogat has also been included in this list.

What did Babita Phogat say

Expressing unhappiness over Vinesh’s decision to join politics, Babita Phogat said, ‘Mahabir Phogat is Vinesh’s teacher. Vinesh should have listened to her Guru. He always shows the right path. But sister Vinesh Phogat has taken a hasty decision. If she had continued playing, she would have definitely won gold in the 2028 Olympics. But Bhupendra Hooda succeeded in creating a rift in the Phogat family. The public will teach him a lesson. Congress’s agenda has always been divide and rule. Congress has always worked to break families.’
