Day after both Punia and Vinesh Phogat joined the Congress, Singh told ANI,\u201dIs it not true that Bajrang went to the Asian Games without trials? I want to ask those who are experts in wrestling. I want to ask Vinesh Phogat whether a player can give trials in 2 weight categories in a day? Can the trials be stopped for 5 hours after the weigh-in?\u2026 You did not win the wrestling, you went there by cheating. God has punished you for the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking to India Today, Punia hit out at Singh, saying that the remarks \u201cexposes the mentality\u201d of Singh towards the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who celebrated Vinesh\u2019s disqualification, are they deshbhakts? We are fighting for the country since childhood, and they dare to teach us patriotism. They are molesting girls,\u201d Punia told India Today.<\/p>\n
