Haryana set for a real Dangal: AAP's Kavita Dalal to battle Vinesh Phogat in Julana
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday released its fourth list of candidates for the Haryana Assembly elections, adding 21 more names to it. This brings the total number of declared candidates to 61. Among the notable entries is Kavita Dalal, a former WWE wrestler, who will challenge Olympic wrestler Vinesh Phogat for the Julana seat.
The Haryana Assembly election, covering 90 seats, is scheduled for October 5, with the deadline for nominations set for September 12.
The other key names include Sunil Bindal, who will run from Karnal. Other candidates include Sham Mehta from Sirsa, Lalit Tyagi from Yamunanagar, Sanjay Satrodia from Hisar, and Nishant Anand from Gurugram.
The contest in Julana is shaping up to be particularly interesting with a focus on two prominent wrestlers -- AAP's Kavita Dalal and Congress's Vinesh Phogat. Adding to the competitive dynamic is BJP's candidate, Captain Yogesh Bairagi, who is well-known in the constituency for his involvement with the Central government's Vande Bharat Mission.
During the global Covid-19 pandemic, this mission was launched by the Central government to repatriate Indian nationals and facilitate travel between India and various global destinations.
