The event saw tractors, SUVs, and villagers gathering to support Phogat as she runs for office on a Congress ticket for the Julana constituency , ToI's Siddharth Saxena reported. Elections in Haryana are largely male-dominated public events.
In Julana, a Jat-majority agricultural area, villagers expressed pride in Phogat's candidacy. Sewa Singh, a local, highlighted the cultural significance, noting, “Notice how she had her head covered with her dupatta here.” Singh continued, “Ab bahu hai, toh naata toh hai, lekin vote ka agley mahiney hi dekhenge.
” Despite her delay and a busy schedule, Phogat humorously commented on her challenging routine, saying, “Godde hi toot gaye, bhai-saab.” However, she added, “Lekin mujhe aana toh tha.” Phogat's candidacy comes after her outspoken protests at Jantar Mantar, which many saw as a fight for women's rights and safety.
She has transitioned from being an Olympic wrestler to a political figure seeking justice for her community. The election office launch in Julana drew large crowds and was marked by a havan ceremony. Among her supporters is Madhubala, vice president of the Haryana Students’ Federation of India.
Madhubala stated, “It is often difficult to meet her. But if we don’t stand with her now, then when?” Artificial Intelligence(AI) Java Programming with ChatGPT: Learn using Generat.
