If you talk about this, you would waste their struggle and fight. The focus is not on me today. The focus should be on the farmers, I request this. I am an athlete, I belong to the entire country. I have nothing to do with which state is going to the polls. All I know is that my country is suffering, farmers are in trouble. Their issues should be resolved and it should be the first priority of the Government to resolve this,' said Vinesh Phogat. On her disqualification from the Olympics wrestling final and related controversy, Vinesh Phogat stated, 'If you can, focus more on farmers' struggle today. I don't want the focus on me. I will call you and speak about it when it is the day.'
