Renowned wrestling coach Mahavir Singh Phogat has expressed disappointment over his niece Vinesh Phogat's decision to join the Congress party and contest the Haryana Assembly elections. Phogat feels Vinesh's focus should have remained on winning a gold medal at the 2028 Olympics. Vinesh, who faced disqualification at the 2024 Paris Olympics due to being overweight, has shifted her focus to politics. Mahavir Phogat acknowledges her wrestling achievements but believes her transition to politics came too soon, dashing India's hopes of an Olympic gold medal.
