Saina Nehwal\'s Olympic preparation continues despite political plunge

Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: Saina Nehwal's life has always been about doing one thing at one time. The Olympic bronze medallist's much publicised entry into politics may have come as a surprise, but it will not come in the way of her preparation for this summer's Games in Tokyo. But, whenever the party needs her for campaigning or something, she can keep providing the support," her father Harvir Singh told PTI. Saina, a world championship silver medallist and two-time Commonwealth Games champion, joins the party at a time when they are gearing up for the Delhi elections. In joining the BJP, Saina has followed in the footsteps of cricketer Gautam Gambhir, wrestlers Yogeshwar Dutt and Babita Phogat and hockey player Sandeep Singh.
