Joining BJP is not patriotism, joining Congress is not treason: Vinesh Phogat | News India

Chandigarh: In the Haryana assembly elections, Congress has fielded experienced Vinesh Phogat from Jhula seat. Vinesh and Bajrang Punia joined Congress on Friday. Along with this, Vinesh and Punia have also started campaigning. Vinesh also responded to the allegations of former BJP MP Brijbhushan Singh. She said that Brijbhushan is not a country, my country stands with me. My own people are standing with me.

Assembly elections are going to be held in Haryana on October 5. When the election results will be declared on October 8. Vinesh Phogat said in Bakhta Kheda Khap Panchayat that he is my father-in-law, people here love me like a daughter. I am grateful to Congress. When we were protesting, Priyanka Gandhi came to us and encouraged me. I am also a fan of Rahul Gandhi, for the last 2-3 years he has been protesting on the streets and meeting people. Mallikarjun Kharge had said that we will leave one day, now it is your time to take charge of the party.

On the other hand, Congress leader wrestler Bajrang Punia said that I am an athlete and a farmer's son, according to the responsibility given by the party, I feel that I can raise the problems of the farmers in a better way. Brijbhushan and BJP have only one problem that why did we go to Congress, if we had gone to BJP, we would have become patriots, but now because of joining Congress they are calling us traitors. No one becomes a patriot by joining BJP and no one becomes a traitor by joining Congress. On the other hand, BJP has advised Brijbhushan, who made a statement about Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia, not to make any statement about Vinesh and Punia. Brijbhushan said that Vinesh and Punia have earned a big name in the field of wrestling, but after joining Congress, their name will be erased. Meanwhile, BJP leader Anil Vij said that there are some candidates in the Congress list in whose hands handing over power can prove to be dangerous.
