Haryana MLA Abhay Singh Chautala responds to BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s “dabdaba” remark after Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) activities suspended by the Centre. The BJP MP had made the remark following his aide’s victory in the wrestling body polls. Chautala suggests that the intervention of people from Haryana, like Olympic bronze medallist Sakshee Malikkh, led to the Centre’s action. He tweets, “When people from Haryana intervene, dominance of many are blown away. #WrestlingFederation.” The election of Singh’s aide and his subsequent remarks have triggered strong reactions from top wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, and Sakshee Malikkh, who have been leading the agitation against him. Malikkh has even announced her decision to quit the sport, raising concerns about the participating women wrestlers in junior national contests. The Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has directed WFI to suspend its activities and criticized the hasty announcement of the junior nationals. The ministry highlights that the newly elected body seems to be under the control of former office bearers, disregarding the Sports Code. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who stepped aside as WFI chief due to sexual harassment allegations, claims to have retired from wrestling and is focusing on preparations for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
On the backdrop of the ongoing wrestling row, MLA’s Haryanawale responded to BJP MP’s claim of exercising control or “dabdaba” in Haryana. The MLA’s refuted these allegations, stating that they have always worked towards the welfare and progress of the state. They emphasized that their primary goal is to serve the people and ensure their development, rather than engaging in any kind of political dominance. This response comes amidst the controversy surrounding the wrestling federation and highlights the MLA’s commitment to their constituents.
