Olympians Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia Join Congress Ahead of Haryana Elections
In a significant political shift just weeks before the Haryana Assembly elections, renowned wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia have officially joined the Congress party. The two Olympians, who were prominent figures in last year's protests against alleged misconduct by former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Singh, met with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi to finalize their membership.During the announcement, Vinesh Phogat expressed gratitude to the Congress for their support during challenging times, stating, "When we were dragged on the roads, every party except the BJP stood with us and understood our pain." She emphasized her pride in aligning with a party that advocates against injustice, particularly towards women.Phogat recently resigned from her position as an officer on special duty with the Northern Railways, citing personal reasons. She shared her resignation on social media, reflecting on her time with the Indian Railways as a memorable chapter in her life.The entry of these celebrated athletes is expected to bolster the Congress party's standing, particularly among the farming community in Haryana, which is a crucial voter demographic. Both wrestlers have shown their support for farmers' rights, further enhancing their appeal in the region.As Congress navigates seat-sharing negotiations with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) for the upcoming elections, the addition of Phogat and Punia is seen as a strategic move to strengthen their position against the ruling BJP, which has held power in Haryana since 2014.
