On Wednesday (20th November), posters of newly elected Congress MLA Vinesh Phogat surfaced in Julana town in the Jind district of Haryana after she was found ‘missing in action’ during the entirety of the winter session of Vidhan Sabha.
“The whole Assembly session is over but MLA madam remained missing throughout. If she is seen by anyone, then, please report to the residents of Julana”, the poster read.
It remains unknown as to which political rival put up these posters. According to reports, Phogat skipped the winter session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha to campaign for the Congress party.
