Wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia likely to contest Haryana assembly elections on Congress ticket: Sources

New Delhi: In a significant political development, Indian wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia are reportedly set to contest the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections on a Congress ticket. Sources indicate that the athletes may resign from their current positions as early as today.

The duo recently held discussions with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, and are currently meeting with Congress General Secretary (Organization) K.C. Venugopal in Delhi. This move could mark their formal entry into politics ahead of the state elections.
