PM, Sports Min Believe Wrestling Should Be Given The Budget It Requires, Says WFI Chief Sanjay Singh
Singh said the budgetary support extended to wrestling has remained robust, with the sport continuing to enjoy the confidence of the country’s top leadership. Referring to the Union Budget and government initiatives, he underlined that wrestling has long been viewed as a medal-assured discipline for India on the global stage.
“From Khelo India to our sport, the budget allocated for wrestling has always been more than sufficient for us. The Prime Minister, Home Minister, and Sports Minister have all said that wrestling is a sport in which India can guarantee medals. PM (Narendra Modi), Home Minister (Rajnath Singh) and Sports Minister (Mansukh Mandaviya) said that wrestling should be provided with the budget it requires, and people should not assume that the sport is declining due to a lack of funds,” Singh told IANS.
