Wrestling champion Vinesh Phogat has entered politics, contesting the Julana constituency in Haryana for Congress. In an exclusive interview, Phogat revealed her decision stemmed from necessity, driven by the unresolved wrestlers' protest against former Wrestling Federation of India chief Brij Bhushan Singh, accused of sexual harassment. Phogat, a key protester, felt compelled to act after the movement's demands went unmet. Citing the people's demand for her to "step up," she aims to fight for justice and empower Haryana's youth. Her Olympic dreams remain intact, but Phogat's focus now shifts to politics.
