New Delhi, April 4 -- Boxer Vijender Singh has joined the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) ahead of the Lok Sabha polls. Vijender Singh was a member of Congress formerly and his joining the BJP comes as another blow to the Congress.

Joining the BJP in the presence of BJP General Secretary Vinod Tawde, Vijender Singh said it was like a homecoming for him. " had contested the elections in 2019. It is good to be back. The way sportspersons are getting respect in the country and abroad now is commendable. When we used to go abroad to fight earlier, to the UK and Dubai, for instance, certain things would happen at the airports sometimes. But since the BJP and theModi government came to power, we can go anywhere easily."
