While announcing her intention to travel to Gonda for the national ranking competition, she warned, \"I will also be attending the ranking competition; my team and my well-wishers will be there with me. If any untoward incident happens to anyone, I want to make it clear to everyone: the government will be held directly responsible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Vinesh alleged that the venue choice compromises the fairness of the competition. \"Every hardworking athlete will get their due there\u2014this is something very unlikely and almost impossible. Who will referee whose match, how many points a referee will give... all of this will be controlled by Brij Bhushan and his people,\" she alleged.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She further expressed doubts over the transparency of official procedures, including the crucial weigh-in process. \"I don\u2019t think the weights of all the hardworking wrestlers will be checked fairly, or that the results on the mat will truly reflect their hard work.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Vinesh further alleged despite Brij Bhushan's official removal as WFI chief, he publicly asserted maintaining a \"stranglehold\" over the federation, and the Sports Ministry remained a \"silent spectator\".<\/p>\r\n\r\n
