Boxer Vijender Singh has switched from the Congress to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), describing it as a "homecoming." Singh, who won a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, expressed gratitude to PM Modi and the BJP for their support of athletes. Joining BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde, Singh emphasized the improved treatment of sportspersons under the BJP government. He aims to contribute to the welfare of athletes, particularly from his home state of Haryana. Singh's move is seen as a boost for BJP's electoral prospects, especially in Haryana and Western UP.
