Millennium Post Delhi|Delhi 03 May 2024
The suspense surrounding the Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate for the renowned Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat in Uttar Pradesh has finally ended as BJP has made it clear that the current Member of Parliament from the constituency, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, will not be contesting the upcoming elections. Instead, BJP has nominated his son, Karan Bhushan Singh. He is set to file his nomination on Friday morning at 11 AM.
BJP drops Brij Bhushan, fields his son Karan from UP’s Kaiserganj

After allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled against Brij Bhushan Singh by women wrestlers, speculations were rife that the BJP might give ticket to one of his relatives.

Just a few days ago, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh stated: “Kaiserganj’s name resonates not only in Hindustan but across the globe. Regarding the ticket, our workers are vigilant, but the party is silent. The wedding procession is set, but the groom is missing. However, I claim that if the BJP declares the candidate even an hour before, we will win the election with a big victory.”

While BJP did not declare him as the candidate, they did award the ticket to his son.

The selection of Karan Bhushan Singh has drawn criticism from the Congress, TMC, and Shiv Sena and wrestlers. They allege that the BJP is endorsing someone implicated in sexual harassment allegations.

Jairam Ramesh of the Congress condemned the move, suggesting the BJP has stooped to a new low by nominating the son of an accused sexual harasser. He criticized the party’s leadership and their quest for power, using the hashtags “#ModiMaafiMaango” and “#HaathBadlegaHalaat” in a social media post.
