New Delhi: Indian wrestler Babita Phogat along with her father and Dronacharya Award recipient Mahavir Phogat joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday ahead of the Haryana state assembly elections. Talking to ETV Bharat, Babita said that Prime Minister Modi inspired her to join politics.
"His recent decisions of scrapping Article 370 and 35(a) is commendable. It was after this that I decided to be a part of the party, " Babita said.
Mahaveer Phogat also expressed the same feelings and said, "Those opposing Article 370 are the reason the country is unable to develop. The country is proud of Narendra Modi."
The newly joined members are ready to take any responsibility given by the party. Babita plans to continue her wrestling alongside.
