Vijender Singh Slams Punjab Government Over ‘credit-taking’ After Gurindervir’s Success
Referring to Gurindervir’s recent interview, the Olympic medallist claimed the runner himself had admitted that he neither received access to a national-level stadium nor proper support from the government despite being given a government job.
“The Punjab government has now come forward to take credit for Gurindervir Singh, but if you listen to his interview, he clearly says that he neither got a national-level stadium nor proper support from the government. They gave him a government job, but then sent him on duty without providing the right environment for practice and preparation. But the moment Gurindervir broke the national record, everyone rushed to take credit. Athletes don’t need support after winning — they need support during their struggle," Vijender Singh posted on X.
