India beats England by 336 runs in 2nd Test, Akash Deep picks up 6 wickets, series level 1-1
Congress is likely to field wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia in the Haryana assembly elections from Julana and Badli seats, respectively. The names will be cleared by the Congress Central Election Committee on Wednesday or Thursday.
Vinesh Phogat wanted to fight from the Julana seat, but the Congress had initially wanted her to contest from another seat near Gurugram, the sources said.
The development comes shortly after Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat met former Congress president Rahul Gandhi in New Delhi on Wednesday amid speculation that the two star grapplers could be fielded in the Haryana assembly poll by the party.
The Congress posted a photograph of Rahul Gandhi with Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia on its official X handle.
