Last Friday, ex-wrestler Vinesh, along with Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist grappler Bajrang Punia joined the Congress. "Vinesh should have played LA Olympics, but now that she has moved to politics, we have started preparing Sangeeta Phogat for the 2028 Games. She will bring a medal for India. Because of Jantar Mantar protest, Sangeeta missed the Nationals. Babita Phogat's knees are not fine, so she can't come back to the mat," Mahavir said.
