Olympian Bajrang Punia was named the All India Kisan Congress’s working chairman on Friday, only hours after he joined the party.
“Hon’ble Congress President has approved the proposal of the appointment of Shri Bajrang Punia as the Working Chairman of All India Kisan Congress, with immediate effect,” Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said in a press release.
Punia’s appointment comes amid speculations about whether he would contest the Haryana assembly polls.
Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat, who were at the forefront of the wrestlers’ protest against then WFI chief and former BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, joined the Congress with a vow of “not being scared or backing off”.
