Haryana Polls: Why BJP is struggling and what Congress gains with Vinesh
With just under a month remaining until the Haryana elections, the BJP finds itself in disarray. Several senior leaders have opted out of the race, and over three dozen members have resigned in recent weeks, leaving the party scrambling to regain control. Meanwhile, the opposition Congress has gained significant momentum by inducting two of India's most renowned Olympians, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia.
In this episode, we examine the crisis within the Haryana BJP, what the induction of Vinesh and Bajrang means for the Congress, and also the challenges the saffron party has been facing with its alliance partners at the Center.
