Game Time: Vinesh Phogat transitions from mat to political stage

Earlier this month, Vinesh Phogat joined the Congress party and is contesting the Haryana elections from Julana constituency, shortly after her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 50-kg gold medal bout for being 100 grams overweight. Phogat, a key figure in protests against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, accused of sexually harassing female wrestlers, is now campaigning in Julana with days left before the elections.Indian Express’ Nihal Koshie, who spent a day with her on the trail, shares insights on her smooth transition from wrestling to politics on this week’s Game Time with hosts Mihir Vasavda and Vinayakk Mohanarangan.Produced by Niharika Nanda and Shashank BhargavaEdited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
