Olympic Medalist Vijender Singh Joins BJP: A New Political Move
Indian Olympic medalist Vijender Singh, known for his boxing prowess, has made a significant political move by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Singh, who previously contested as a Congress candidate in the South Delhi constituency during the 2019 general elections, has now aligned himself with the BJP. His entry into the party has sparked speculation about his potential candidacy from Mathura, currently represented by actress Hema Malini.
Hailing from the influential Jat community, Singh’s political background is rooted in regions like Haryana, western Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan. This shift in allegiance showcases his intent to serve a wider demographic and support the BJP’s political agenda.
