Q/ There are serious charges against you. Do you think these are part of a conspiracy?
A/ This is a huge conspiracy to defame me and kill me politically. But this is much larger than me. As the districts and the states progress, as the nation grows in stature, there is a definite and widespread scheme to spoil India’s image. Some big guns want this son of a farmer from Uttar Pradesh to be uprooted from the Wrestling Federation of India and shown the door.
Q/ You are a popular leader in your region. It is natural for you to have enemies. Who do you think is behind this?
A/ I have risen from student politics through hard work and have faced many challenges. I do not see myself as belonging to just a particular caste. My thoughts and deeds are for the best of everyone. This is what flows through my blood. I am a devotee of Shri Ram and like him, want to thread together all sections of society and community and establish Ram Rajya. It is but natural to have enemies in politics. But the opponents have now become shallow and have fallen to great depths. As for who benefits from the conspiracy—all those who are trying to forcibly take over institutions, which is not possible till I am around.
