Famous wrestler Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia joined the Congress party on Friday (September 6). Both may contest the Haryana Assembly elections on a Congress ticket.

She noted that while the BJP abandoned them, other parties were with them. She praised Congress for fighting for women’s respect both on the streets and in Parliament.
