Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a six-term member of parliament, experienced a severe political blow as a result of accusations of sexual harassment against him, which led to the arrest of some of the nation’s best wrestlers. The BJP sought an alternative solution in response to the allegations, as it wished to avoid damaging its chances of winning the state’s elections in light of the political ramifications. But the party is aware of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s local political influence. Thus, it has decided to replace him with his son.
Pratik Bhushan Singh, his eldest son, is an MLA. The Uttar Pradesh wrestling organization is currently led by Karan Bhushan Singh.
On May 20, Kaiserganj will cast ballot in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha election. Tomorrow is the deadline for submitting nominations.
