Decks have been cleared for the ace wrestler and Common Wealth Games (CWG) medal winner Babita Phogat to contest the upcoming elections in Haryana as the latter's resignation from the state police has been accepted by the incumbent Haryana government, reports Indian Express.
Babita who joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with her father Mahavir Phogat who is a Dronacharya awardee was a sub-inspector in the Haryana Police's cadre and had submitted her resignation from the force a month ago. The same has now been accepted.
The 29-years-old had been inducted in the Haryana Police by the former Haryana chief minister (CM) Bhupinder Singh Hooda after she had won the gold medal in the 2014 CWG games event held in Glasgow, Scotland.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
