BJP MP and ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh distanced himself, stating, "I've taken sanyas from wrestling." After the sports ministry suspended WFI due to irregularities, Singh emphasized his focus on the 2024 Lok Sabha election, saying, "Now whatever has to be done will be done by the newly elected body." Regarding controversy around Sanjay Singh's election, Singh clarified, "Sanjay Singh is my close, not my relative." The suspension followed the announcement of U-15 and U-20 nationals. The move triggered wrestler Sakshi Malik's retirement and Bajrang Punia's Padma Shri return in protest against Singh's election.
