So what you have expected, just because of conspiracy from his own country officials to please the ruling party, she would have been sidelined though she has technically won silver medal.Seeing Vinesh Phogat's welcome and a 135Km victory parade managed by Deepender Hooda,i am sure that she will either contest Haryana polls or would support the Congress in some way.This will be good closure for her as well as wrestling clan.
About politics, she is not the first one to join. Saina Nehwal etc. Can join politics but she can't. Credibility of a player can't be questioned when she has won medal in Asiad, Commonwealth and qualified for Olympics.
