Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram Stories and took a dig at Vinesh Phogat after her historic win. Sharing a photo of Vinesh on her Stories, the BJP MP credited her victory to the ‘great leader’ Prime Minister Narendra Modi. She captioned the pic, “Fingers crossed for India’s first Gold Medal…Vinesh Phogat at one point took part in protests where she raised the slogans of “Modi teri kabr khudegi”. Yet she was given the opportunity to represent the nation and best of the training, coaches, and facilities. Beauty of democracy and a great leader. (sic)”

For the unversed, Vinesh Phogat was one of the three top wrestlers who led a protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. They accused him of sexually harassing women wrestlers. Other wrestlers who stood alongside her were Bajrang Punia – who won the bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics, and Sakshi Malik – the first Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the Olympics in 2016.
