Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: The BJP MP announced that he would contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections again from the Kaiserganj constituency.
Facing allegations of sexual harassment by some of India's top wrestlers, Wrestling Federation of India chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh today, without mentioning the protests by elite grapplers, started his speech at a rally in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda with a sentimental poem making references to suffering, betrayal, and love.
"Kabhi ashq, kabhi gham, to kabhi zeher piya jata hai. Tab jakar jamane me jiya jata hai. Yeh mila mujhko muhabbat ka silla, bewafa kehke mera naam liya jata hai. Isko ruswai kahen ki shohrat apni, dabe hontho se mera naam liya jata hai (Sometimes you drink tears, sometimes sadness, and at times poison. Only then do you live in society. This is the reward I have received for my love, they call me unfaithful. Call it notoriety or fame, they take my name with pursed lips.)," he said at the rally organised under BJP's 'Mahasampark Abhiyan' for the 2024 elections.
The BJP MP announced that he would contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections again from the Kaiserganj constituency. He also said the BJP will form a majority government next year.
Marking nine years of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government, Mr Singh then attacked Congress saying Indian territory was occupied during Congress rule, and PM Modi could have got it back had he been in power then.
