On Wednesday, prominent wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia met with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. The Congress party shared a photograph of this meeting on the social media platform X, sparking speculation about their potential entry into politics on a Congress ticket in the upcoming Haryana assembly elections.
Rahul Gandhi said, "Today I met and talked to wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, who have made the country proud by winning many medals for India.
This isn't the first political connection for Vinesh Phogat. After returning from the Paris Olympics, she met with former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Hooda, who stated that anyone wishing to join the party is welcome in Congress. This further fueled discussions about Phogat's potential political ambitions.
Recently, when Vinesh Phogat visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar, she refrained from commenting on whether she plans to contest in the upcoming elections.
Meanwhile, upon her return from Paris, Congress MP Deepender Hooda greeted her at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, followed by a procession to her village. Since then, rumors have continued to circulate about her possible candidacy for the Haryana Assembly elections on a Congress ticket.
