Vinesh Phogat Political Entry
Phogat, an Olympian who faced disqualification in this year's games, made her political debut recently. She joined the Congress on September 6, 2024, and was quickly added to the party’s candidate list. Her entry into politics follows a challenging period for her, as she led protests against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a BJP MP, last year, demanding justice for wrestlers.
Upon her political debut, Phogat remarked, I am starting a new innings. I want sportspersons to avoid the struggles we had to endure. She expressed her gratitude towards the Congress, emphasizing how non-BJP parties stood by her during difficult times.
