Ex-BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh criticised Congress leader Vinesh Phogat for winning in the Haryana assembly elections, asserting that she may have emerged victorious but her party did not. Singh, who is alleged to have sexually harassed female wrestlers, stated that she would cause chaos wherever she goes.

He noted that despite the wrestlers protesting against him, the BJP's prospects in the polls remained strong as many candidates emerged victorious in 'Jat'-dominated constituencies.

"Many BJP candidates have won on 'jat' majority seats... The so-called wrestlers in the wrestler's agitation are not heroes of Haryana. They are villains for all the junior wrestlers also... If she (Vinesh Phogat) used my name to win, it means I am a great man who helped her win. She won but Congress lost... 'Wo jahan jahan jaegi, satyanaash hi hoga (she will spread destruction wherever she goes)'."

He also lauded the party for the victory."I would like to thank the people of Haryana. Many efforts were made to mislead the people of Haryana in the name of protests of farmers and wrestlers. However, people have praised the policies of BJP," he added according to reports by PTI.

After emerging triumphant in the Haryana assembly election from the Julana constituency, Congress candidate Vinesh Phogat highlighted that her win symbolizes "the struggle of all girls, all women."

This is the battle that every girl, every woman who opts to fight, faces. Truth is the triumph in every battle. The wrestler-turned politician promised to preserve the love and trust the country has shown him.

Despite contrary exit poll predictions, the BJP is ahead in 50 seats in Haryana and is set to establish its third consecutive government in the state.
