Babita said that there is no conspiracy against Vinesh. In 2012, I myself was disqualified due to being 200 grams overweight and could not play the Asian Championship. Earlier also many players have been out of the competition due to being overweight. There is no conspiracy of any kind in this.
On Bhupendra Hooda’s statement of making Vinesh a Rajya Sabha candidate, Babita Phogat said that I would like to ask Hooda ji that how many players did you send to Rajya Sabha in your ten-year tenure?

If you want to do politics, then do it in the field, do not do politics by breaking this family.
