In her emotional resignation letter, Vinesh expressed her gratitude towards Indian Railways.
She mentioned that serving the Indian Railways was an unforgettable and proud moment in her life.
Reasons behind her resignation
Vinesh shared that she is stepping down from her railway position to focus on her political career.
She believes that this decision will pave the way for her new role in politics, allowing her to contribute more effectively.
Political entry
Both Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia have already met with Congress leaders, sparking speculation that they will join the party soon.
After their meeting with Rahul Gandhi, rumors are rife that both wrestlers will officially enter politics in the coming days.
Olympic disqualification
In a recent setback, Vinesh was disqualified from the Paris Olympics despite reaching the finals. She was removed due to being 100 grams overweight, which led to her disqualification.

It is almost certain that Vinesh and Bajrang will contest the upcoming Haryana Assembly elections.
Their resignation from the railways and entry into politics has already sparked interesting discussions about political developments.
