Ahead of the elections, Tokyo Games bronze medallists Bajrang Punia and Sakshi had repeatedly requested Sports Minister Anurag Thakur to stop anyone associated with Brij Bhushan from contesting the WFI polls. “It’s unfortunate that the government did not stand by its word that no Brij Bhushan loyalist will contest the WFI election,” said Bajrang.
