Haryana Assembly Elections 2024: By the way, the entire Haryana election 2024 remains a topic of discussion. The two major parties of the country, BJP and Congress, are showing strength in the Haryana elections and are claiming to come to power in their own way. While the ruling party BJP faces the challenge of regaining power in the elections, the challenge for Congress is how to end the drought and gain power in the state. To overcome this challenge, Congress is focusing more on winning candidates. In view of this, Congress is also ready to bet on veteran wrestlers in this election. This time in the Haryana elections, wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia can also be seen in the fray from Congress. Today or tomorrow the party can make an official announcement on the candidature of these two wrestlers.
Decision on Vinesh and Bajrang will be taken today or tomorrow
If sources are to be believed, in the Haryana assembly elections, Congress can bet on Vinesh Phogat from Julana seat, while preparations are underway to field Bajrang Punia from Badli assembly constituency. However, no official announcement has been made yet. The decision on the candidature of both and on which seat they will contest can be taken on Wednesday or Thursday. According to media reports, the Central Election Committee of Congress can approve the names of the wrestlers on Wednesday or Thursday. The party said that the candidature of both the wrestlers is likely to be announced soon. Earlier today, Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat met former Congress President and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in Delhi. After this meeting, it has definitely been strengthened that Vinesh and Bajrang will now be seen defeating their opponents in the political arena along with sports.
Congress wants Vinesh to contest elections from here
Julana assembly seat of Haryana is in the hands of Congress, while Badli seat is with Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) and the party’s Amarjeet Dhanda is the MLA. To snatch Badli from JJP, this time Congress is preparing to bet on Bajrang Punia. However, on Julana seat, Congress is willing to bet on the sitting MLA, while Vinesh Phogat has expressed her desire to contest from here. Congress wants Vinesh to contest from a seat close to Gurugram.
Because of this Vinesh remained the topic of discussion
Let us tell you that Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik had accused BJP MP from Kaiserganj in UP and former President of Wrestling Federation of India Brij Bhushan Singh of sexual harassment. For several days, both the wrestlers sat on a dharna at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. Later a case was registered against the BJP MP and he also resigned from his post of Wrestling Federation. This matter is pending in the Delhi court. Bajrang Punia also supported both the wrestlers and he also joined the protest. Vinesh Phogat announced her retirement from wrestling after being disqualified in the 50 kg gold medal match of Paris Olympics 2024. However, Vinesh later changed her mind. Since her return home, there has been speculation that she will enter active politics like her cousin Babita, who is a BJP MLA.
Election date changed, now voting will happen on this day
Let us tell you that voting will be held on 5 October for 90 assembly seats in Haryana and counting of votes will be done on 8 October. Earlier this election was to be held on 1 October and the result was to come on 4 October, but in view of the holidays falling in between, the Election Commission of India changed the date of assembly elections and kept it on 8 October.
