"We fought from our heart but if a man like Brij Bhushan's business partner and a close aide is elected as the president of WFI, I quit wrestling ...," a teary-eyed Sakshi said at a press conference here.
Earlier in the day, Brij Bhushan's close aide Sanjay Singh was elected as WFI president.
Sanjay Singh defeated Anita Sheoran 40-7 in a virtually one-sided contest. However, Prem Chand Lochab, who seemingly got the support of the protesting wrestlers, was elected as the secretary general.
"We wanted a woman president but that did not materialise," the Commonwealth Games gold medalist said.
Ahead of elections, Olympic medal-winning grapplers Bajrang Punia and Sakshi had requested Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur to dissuade anyone close to Brijbhushan from contesting the elections.
