00:00 Sanjay Singh is from Bhuihar community.
00:03 That means he is not my relative.
00:07 In Anand Phanan, the old committee had to take a decision.
00:15 Under 15 and 20.
00:20 Because on 31st December, their session will end.
00:28 After that, if this tournament takes place,
00:32 their one year will be ruined.
00:35 That's why all the federations together
00:40 took this decision.
00:43 That this way, the environment of sports should start.
00:49 And Nandini Nagar was kept because
00:55 all the federations took a decision
00:58 that they can't do anything in 4-5 days.
01:02 In that meeting,
01:06 there is a tradition of my farewell.
01:10 When a president leaves his office,
01:16 he has to say a few words.
01:24 So, I went there.
01:31 And this way, the year of 15 and 20 year olds should not be ruined.
01:39 And the environment of sports should start.
01:42 That's why, in Nandini Nagar,
01:45 this decision was taken by the common committee.
01:50 25 federations have given their written and official submissions.
01:57 I worked for 12 years for wrestling.
02:02 Whether I did it well or not,
02:05 time will tell.
02:08 And in one way, I have renounced wrestling.
02:13 I have broken my ties with wrestling.
02:18 Now, whatever decision is to be taken,
02:25 whether to talk to the government
02:29 or to adopt the legal process,
02:35 the people of the chosen federations will take their decision.
02:41 I have renounced wrestling.
02:47 I am going to contest the Lok Sabha elections.
02:49 I have a lot of work to do.
02:52 So, whatever decision is to be taken,
02:58 whether to talk to the government
03:01 or to go to court,
03:04 I have nothing to do with it.
03:07 But, in a democratic way,
03:11 the elections were held on the Supreme Court's orders.
03:17 The entire body has been formed.
03:20 All the members have been elected.
03:23 Now, whether to talk to the government
03:26 or to take legal advice,
03:31 this is not my job.
03:33 I have a lot of work to do.
