It’s wrong to say that Usain Boltconsumed beef and won the medals at Rio," he said. Singh said political leaders should refrain from makingsuch statements. "Had this been true, other players from Jamaica shouldhave won the rest of the medals at Rio," he said. Citing Satpal Singh’s success in world wrestling, he saidRaj’s comments are insulting to an athlete. "Is a vegetarian not capable of winning a medal or is henot capable of performing well? If he is trying to say it isnot possible, then sorry, I don’t agree to his statements." Besides Singh’s criticism, Raj’s own partymen too werecritical of his recent statement. BJP leader Laxmikanta Chwalasaid his remarks can misguide the youth.
