Former Wrestling Federation of India President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh called Congress leaders and wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia 'villains' of Haryana. He criticized them for their actions, alleging they disrupted the system and hindered India's medal prospects. The wrestlers recently joined Congress ahead of the Haryana assembly polls, with Phogat fielded in Julana constituency and Punia appointed working president of All India Kisan Congress.
