Haryana Assembly Polls: Political activity is heating up in Haryana ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. Amidst this, it has been reported that two wrestling champions, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, will be joining the Congress party today.
Bajrang Punia confirmed that both athletes will officially join Congress at 1:30 PM today. Speculations about their political move had been circulating for some time, especially after the two wrestlers previously met with Rahul Gandhi.
Wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia met with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in Delhi last Thursday. After their meeting with Rahul Gandhi, the wrestlers also visited Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal.
Following these meetings, speculations began circulating about their potential inclusion in the Congress party.
According to political speculation, Vinesh Phogat could be given a ticket from Dadri.
Meanwhile, Bajrang Punia is seeking a ticket from Badli, but Congress is planning to field him from another Jat-majority seat instead.
Vinesh Phogat's potential entry into politics could bring significant changes to Haryana's political landscape. Her strong connections with Khap Panchayats and farmers may garner substantial support in the elections.
Vinesh Phogat's role in the upcoming assembly elections could prove to be a crucial turning point in Haryana's politics.
