Rahul Gandhi met wrestlers Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, hinting they might contest on Congress tickets as the party seeks to boost its chances against the BJP: Haryana elections
The Congress is also in talks with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), hoping to secure an alliance to prevent the division of votes in the elections, scheduled for October 5. AAP Haryana state president Sushil Gupta said on Wednesday that talks over a seat-sharing deal with the Congress are underway.
Notably, Phogat and Punia’s induction into the Congress could dent the BJP’s prospects in some key regions.
