KOLKATA:- After the darkest night held at Paris on the very eve, Prime Minister Narendra Modi called her. But she did not want to talk to Modi. Vinesh Phogat revealed the inside news after one and a half months.
She had to return empty-handed despite raising hopes of a medal at the Paris Olympics. The stigma is reversed.
India’s star wrestler secured silver by knocking down three wrestlers in one day.
But disaster struck as he weighed himself on the morning of the finals. It is known that Vinesh’s weight is one hundred grams more than the specified weight. SHe was rejected. The prime minister calls Vinesh, who is distraught and broken. But Vinesh did not pick up the phone.
Paris Olympics are past. Wrestling star Vinesh Phogat has now become a full-fledged political leader.She is contesting Haryana assembly elections from Jhulna seat. Says Vinesh, Modi wanted to talk to him at that time. But Modi did not call him directly.
Vinesh says in this context, “He did not call me directly. An official came and said that Modiji wants to talk to me. I was ready to talk. But conditions are imposed on me. I am told that no one from my team can be present during the talk. On the other hand, two people will be present to record the conversation between me and the Prime Minister. It will be given on social media. I didn’t want anyone to mock my hard work and passion on social media.”
Vinesh Phogat said in one breath that if the Prime Minister had called without any motive and had not made the conversation between the two public, the talks could have continued. Vinesh says, “If the Prime Minister had thought so much about sportspersons, he would not have imposed any conditions. She did not record. Modiji knew that the topic of the last two years would come up during the conversation. That’s probably why I’m forbidden that no one from my party can be present during the talk. Then it will be possible for them to edit.
