Sonali Phogat dies: Phogat died on Monday night due to a heart attack.
BJP leader Sonali Phogat has died in Goa of a heart attack. A TikTok star, Phogat had contested the 2019 elections from Haryana's Adampur and lost.
"She has passed away. I have been given information that she was in Goa," Haryana BJP chief O P Dhankar said.
Captain Bhupender, district president of the Hisar BJP said, "Sonali was in Goa. I spoke to her assistant and he said that she died of a heart attack".
Phogat had posted a video on Instagram before her death. She also changed her profile picture.
She was defeated by Kuldeep Bishnoi in 2019 who joined the BJP this year and relinquished his seat. He is preparing for the Adampur bypolls.
Earlier this week, Bishnoi met Sonali Phogat and discussed several political issues for over two hours.
After the meeting, however, Phogat told Dainik Jagran that she would not forego her claim to the seat. She said she had been working in the constituency for the last two years and that she wanted to contest the 2024 polls. She said she was ready to face the elections immediately.
She said she had confidence in the party and that it would not ignore her hard work.
Sonali added that Kuldeep Bishnoi had talked to her when he joined the BJP and said he would visit her soon.
Sonali Phogat had thousands of followers on TikTok when it was banned in India. She also participated in the popular reality show Bigg Boss.
