Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh (right) on Sunday said he has “taken retirement” from the sport and the newly-elected body will now take charge as he has many more responsibilities to look into, including next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

Brij Bhushan’s comments came soon after his meeting with BJP chief JP Nadda following WFI’s suspension by the Sports Ministry till further orders. The WFI elections were held on December 21 with Brij Bhushan’s loyalist, Sanjay Singh, and his panel winning the polls by big margins.
