Chandigarh : In a significant development, renowned wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, sparking speculation about their potential entry into politics.
Sources suggest that the Congress party may field Phogat and Punia in the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections. Phogat, who recently met with Khap panchayats and farmers in Jind, Rohtak, and Shambhu border areas, is rumored to be considered for the Dadri constituency. Punia, on the other hand, is interested in contesting from the Badli constituency, but the Congress party is exploring the option of fielding him from a Jat-dominated constituency.
Phogat's entry into politics could bring a significant change in the state's political landscape, given her popularity and support from Khap panchayats and farmers. However, she has not yet officially announced her decision to enter politics.
The meeting between Phogat, Punia, and Rahul Gandhi has generated immense interest in political circles, with many speculating about the potential impact of their entry into politics on the upcoming elections.
The Congress party is actively considering candidates for the Haryana Assembly elections, with a focus on winning the state amidst growing anti-incumbency sentiments against the ruling BJP.
