After historic gold, Vinesh Phogat gets engaged at airport on return
New Delhi : Wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who won gold at the Asian Games in Jakarta, got engaged to wrestler Somvir Rathee on her return to India. The two reportedly exchanged rings near the arrival gate of the Delhi airport on Monday night.
Phogat became the first Indian woman to win a gold medal in wrestling at the Asian Games. Rathee, like Phogat, is also a Greco Roman wrestler. A few days ago, she posted on Instagram a photo of them together in which she said it was the “best decision” she had ever made.
After her victory at the Asian Games, Rathee had posted a picture in which he congratulated Phogat on her victory. “I know how much hard work has come before this victory. Whatever she is today is because of her hardwork and the entire nation’s faith and love for her, without which this would not have been possible. Please keep giving your love and faith always. Every Indian is proud of you always and I pray you will continue to make the nation proud in the future as well,” he said.
Phogat has also shared pictures of her 24th birthday celebration at Delhi airport on Instagram. In an accompanying caption she thanked everyone for their wishes on her birthday and said that it would remain a memorable one. She later confirmed to a newspaper that she was engaged to Rathee and that the rings were exchanged outside the airport.

Social media campaigns, flexboards won't decide who will be Kerala CM: Chennithala
New Delhi/Thiruvananthapuram (PTI): Senior Congress leader Ramesh Chennithala, a CM hopeful, on Wednesday said that social media campaigns and putting up of flexboards wiill not be the deciding factors for selecting the chief minister of Kerala.
Chennithala made the remark in response to reporters queries in Delhi on the intense social media campaign in favour of V D Satheesan as CM on the ground that he led the UDF poll campaign from the front.
"Who should be CM is not decided based on social media campaigns or the flexboards put up by the supporters. It is decided by the high command in accordance with the procedure already in place.
"As part of that two party observers will reach Kerala by evening and they will speak to all the MLAs. After that, the party high command will take a decision," the senior Congress leader said.
He said that the high command will take the decision based on party interests and everyone will accept it.
Chennithala also rejected queries about whether the alleged contest within the party for the CM post will create any displeasure among the voters.
"There will be no displeasure among voters as there is no contest," he contended.
On whether there was a delay in announcing the CM for Kerala, Chennithala said that the chief minister has not been selected in the other state where polls were held.
"So, can it be said that there is a delay in the case of Kerala?" he asked.
He said that he was in Delhi for a meeting with Rahul Gandhi regarding finalisation of the DCC presidents in Maharashtra.
