Congress candidate Vinesh Phogat expressed her happiness on Tuesday, saying that it was a matter of great joy that girls are considering her as inspiration, adding that if the Congress government comes to power in Haryana, the girls in the state will not have to suffer like she suffered.
"We are working hard, everyone has the right to fight. We believe in our honesty and truth that people will support us...I am among people, it is a matter of great happiness for me that girls are considering me as an inspiration," said Phogat while speaking to ANI. Phogat also highlighted that during a meeting with college girls, she listened to several issues that they were facing and assured them of solutions if Congress comes to power in the state after Assembly polls. "There are a lot of things to be done for girls. The college girls who I met told me that they don't have a bus facility to come to college. If they are preparing for a job, then they don't have a stadium for running or any activity. There are a lot of other things; the safety of the girls is a big issue; I am from this area itself, and there are a lot of things that need to be done. I assure everyone that when the Congress government comes to power, then the things that I suffered through, they would not go through the same thing," she added. Earlier today, Vinesh Phogat inaugurated the party's election office in Haryana's Julana and performed a havan. She also exuded confidence that the people will support her in the upcoming elections. "These people have made us win in wrestling and they will make us win (in Haryana elections). We have never been able to do anything without God and elders, even today I am nothing without them. I will go ahead only with their blessings...I am confident that they will support what is right, like they have always done," Phogat said. On September 6, Olympian wrestler Vinesh joined the Congress, providing a big boost to the party. Voting for the 90-member legislative assembly in Haryana will be held on October 5, and the last date for filing nominations is September 12. The counting of votes will be held on October 8. In 2019 assembly polls, BJP became the single-largest party with 40 seats and Congress won 30 seats. (ANI)
