The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced its second list of candidates for the upcoming Haryana state elections, with Captain Yogesh Bairagi set to challenge Congress’ Vinesh Phogat in Julana. Phogat, a well-known wrestler and politician, has garnered significant support in the region, but the BJP hopes that Bairagi’s local influence and military background will sway voters in their favor.
The contest in Julana is expected to be a closely watched race, as both candidates come from strong political and social backgrounds. Bairagi, who has a long-standing connection to the region, is banking on his rapport with the local electorate and his track record of service. On the other hand, Vinesh Phogat’s popularity extends beyond politics, as her achievements in sports have made her a household name.
The BJP’s decision to field Bairagi against Phogat highlights the party’s strategy of tapping into local leadership to take on prominent figures from rival parties. With both candidates having strong support bases, the Julana constituency is expected to see a fierce electoral battle in the coming months.
