In a resounding victory in Haryana's Julana constituency, Congress candidate Vinesh Phogat has emerged as a symbol of resilience and truth. The wrestling champion-turned-politician declared her triumph as a victory for every woman choosing to fight, emphasizing the broader struggle for truth and justice in politics.

Phogat, after initially trailing in the counts, surmounted the odds by defeating BJP's Yogesh Kumar with a margin of 5761 votes. This victory, which comes after 19 years for Congress in Julana, was celebrated by fellow Congress leader and wrestler Bajrang Punia who highlighted the importance of the win against oppressive forces.

As the BJP inches towards a potential win in the Haryana assembly, Congress has raised alarms over discrepancies in vote count data. Senior Congress leaders accuse the Election Commission of delaying updates, suggesting an intentional influence to impact results. The party calls for transparency in electoral data display and scrutiny.
