New Delhi. Indian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia will join Congress today. After leaving the wrestling arena, both these wrestlers will now try their luck in politics. The announcement of Vinesh and Bajrang’s inclusion in the party may be made in the Congress press conference to be held at around 1 pm today. Just two days ago, Rahul Gandhi met these two wrestlers. The photo of these two with Rahul Gandhi was also shared on social media. After this, the speculations going on for the last several days that Vinesh and Bajrang are going to join Congress soon got further strength.
According to Congress sources, the party can give Vinesh Phogat a ticket for the assembly elections from Jind’s Julana or Dadri seat. At the same time, it is being said about Bajrang Punia that Congress will field him from a seat which is Jat dominated. However, there is also a discussion about Bajrang that he will not contest the elections but will take the responsibility of campaigning for Vinesh Phogat by taking membership of Congress. Now these speculations will end only after the press conference of Congress. Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before the match after reaching the 50 kg wrestling final of Paris Olympics. Her weight was found to be 100 grams more.
The entire country, including President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, unitedly stood in support of Vinesh. After this, former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda had said that if Congress had the numbers, we would have sent Vinesh to the Rajya Sabha. When Vinesh Phogat reached India, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik along with Congress Lok Sabha MP from Rohtak Deepender Singh Hooda also reached the airport to welcome Vinesh. Deepender also left the airport in the same car along with Vinesh, Bajrang and Sakshi. Since then, the discussion started that Congress can give Vinesh a ticket in the assembly elections by including her in the party.
