Political Maneuvering: Is Congress sabotaging India’s 2036 Olympic Aspirations?

Recent reports suggest a coordinated effort to undermine India’s bid for the 2036 Olympics, with Congress allegedly using Vinesh Phogat as a pawn in this political game. The aim appears to be to create discord within the Indian Olympic Association and sabotage the Modi Government's plans

There are reports of orchestrated moves to use Vinesh Phogat as a tool to stall Olympics in Bharat in 2036. Congress appears to be leading a move to unleash attacks against Olympian P T Usha, Indian Olympics Association President. The attempt is to engineer a split in the Indian Olympics Association and sabotage the Modi Government’s plan to conduct Olympics in Bharat in 2036. There are allegations that deliberate attempts are being made in this direction.

Vinesh Phogat did not receive permission to participate in the Paris Olympics due to being overweight. P T Usha visited her in the hospital to console her, and Vinesh became emotional during the visit. That moment went viral on social media at the time.

But, Congress politics is always designed to abort all steps of the Modi Government to raise the prestige of the country in the international arena. They keep on spreading lies that Bharat is in a downward trend in all respects. They do not spare any field for this malicious campaign, whether defence, economic sector, health, external affairs or whatnot!

It is worth noting that Vinesh Phogat criticised P T Usha for the photo of them together, taken in the hospital. She reportedly told a media person that it was taken without her consent. Usha was shocked to hear this allegation. When Vinesh claims that there is a conspiracy behind the photo, it certainly sounds like a conspiracy; it is definitely politically motivated. Usha did not expect Vinesh to stoop to such a level due to political blindness. Usha has not responded to this allegation.

Vinesh Phogat was removed from the 50 kg wrestling category in the Paris Olympics due to an alleged overweight of 100 grams. The Indian Olympic Association fought a strong legal battle against this decision until the last moment. They argued the case before the Arbitration Court to the best of their ability. However, Phogat alleges that she lost the case because of the Indian Olympic Association’s stance against her. Recently, senior Supreme Court lawyer Harish Salve described her argument as an utter lie.

Harish Salve now reveals that Phogat was not interested in arguing her case against the International Olympic Committee’s decision before the Arbitration Court of Sports. He added that this lack of interest is why the Indian Olympic Committee’s arguments were rejected by the International Olympic Committee. P T Usha and her team had engaged the most efficient lawyers for Phogat’s case. Salve states that Phogat’s lawyers were not willing to share any details regarding the dispute. India lost the case due to weak arguments, which were hampered by a lack of sufficient details. Given these facts, Phogat raises allegations that seem aimed at advancing a Congress agenda.

The other day, when the Indian Olympic Association met to appoint a new CEO, members were divided into two factions and fought amongst themselves. Reghu Ram Iyer was tipped to be the new CEO, but the dispute centred around the proposed salary of Rs 20 lakhs for Iyer. Usha agreed to revise the salary proposal, but then the faction raised another issue: they demanded the appointment of someone else instead of Reghu Ram Iyer. Usha responded that this was not possible, as it would set back efforts to bring the 2036 Olympics to Bharat. However, the faction was not willing to listen. Usha maintained that preliminary preparations had already begun, and opposition from a faction of the members would jeopardise their endeavours.

A faction of the members raised issues while International Olympic Committee representative Jerome Poivey attended the meeting online, which tarnished the image of the country. Meanwhile, Kalyan Choube, Joint Secretary of the Indian Olympic Association, has given recognition to the Taekwondo Association without obtaining approval from the Association. P T Usha has issued a notice questioning this action. No doubt, the assumption that there is a political conspiracy behind the attempts to tarnish the country’s image before the International Olympic Committee receives more support among right-thinking people.
