Wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, known for their protests against the Wrestling Federation of India, met Rahul Gandhi, intensifying speculation about their entry into Haryana politics. Sources confirm that Congress has offered Phogat three seat options, including Dadri, Badhra, and Julana, while Punia has been given two choices: Bahadurgarh and Bhiwani. Former Haryana CM Bhupinder Hooda strongly advocated for their candidacies during the Central Election Committee meeting. The Congress believes the wrestlers’ candidacy could enhance public support, particularly among Jat voters, ahead of the October 5 assembly polls.
