Rahul Gandhi: In an effort to regain control in the state, the Congress party is stepping up its preparations as the first week of October approaches, when the Haryana Assembly elections are scheduled. With anti-incumbency sentiment against the ruling BJP growing, Congress is exploring strategic moves to capitalize on this opportunity. Among these strategies is the possible entry of famous wrestler Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia into politics.
Rahul Gandhi’s Special Meeting with Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia
Just before the Haryana elections, Vinesh Phogat, along with fellow wrestler Bajrang Punia, had a crucial meeting with Rahul Gandhi, the former national president of Congress and the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. This meeting has sparked widespread speculation regarding the possible entry of these athletes into politics.
Reports suggest that Congress might consider fielding Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia from key constituencies in Haryana. Although no official announcement has been made by the party yet, the possibility has stirred considerable interest.
Why Are These Speculations Arising?
The buzz around Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia entering politics isn’t without reason. When Vinesh returned from the Paris Olympics, she received a grand welcome from the Haryana Congress. The Pradesh Congress Committee even expressed their willingness to send her to the Rajya Sabha if given a chance.
Both Deepender Singh Hooda, the Member of Parliament for Rohtak, and former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda also hinted at the possibility of Vinesh’s political career. In light of this the past, a lot of people think Congress might take advantage of this chance to bring both wrestlers into the political sphere, which could improve the party’s chances in the upcoming elections.
Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia Likely to Resign from Their Posts Today
According to ANI sources, wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, who recently met with Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, are now in talks with Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal in Delhi. Speculation is rife that they may contest the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections on a Congress ticket, with potential resignations from their current posts expected today.
