The whole world is talking about female wrestler Vinesh Phogat. She was eliminated from the Paris Olympics due to being just 100 grams overweight in her weight category. There is news that the veteran wrestler is likely to contest the upcoming Haryana assembly elections. Sources close to Vinesh gave this information. Vinesh had earlier said that she would not enter active politics. But according to new reports, some political parties are trying their best to persuade her.
After returning from Paris, Vinesh was given a warm welcome in her village Balali in Sonipat. However, it is not yet confirmed which party Vinesh will join. Sources close to the Phogat family said, yes, why not? There is a possibility that Vinesh vs Babita Phogat and Bajrang Punia vs Yogeshwar Dutt contest may be seen in the Haryana Assembly.
Sources close to the Phogat family said, as soon as Vinesh stepped out of the airport, she was given a rousing welcome by her fans, family and friends who had gathered in large numbers despite the early morning hours. The overwhelming support and affection made the wrestling icon emotional. People celebrated outside the airport and their emotions were at their peak. Among the first to welcome Vinesh were Sakshi Malik, who retired from wrestling last year, and Bajrang Punia.
Vinesh had said, “Our fight is not over and the fight will continue and I pray to God that truth prevails.” On Friday, Vinesh expressed her deep sorrow at missing out on the Olympic podium, linking her personal disappointment to the broader struggle for women’s rights in India, an issue she had championed in her protest against the former wrestling federation chief.
