This meeting coincided with the Congress’ Central Election Committee (CEC) finalising its list of candidates for the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections.
Earlier Phogat, declined to comment on making her entry in politics. She spoke about her focus on being an athlete and stated, “I belong to the whole country. I have nothing to do with the state elections. What matters most is addressing the suffering of our country, especially the issues facing farmers. The government should prioritize resolving these problems.”
