BJP's Brij Bhushan, Accused Of Sex Harassment By Wrestlers, May Not Contest Polls: Sources

11 months ago 14

Sexual harassment allegations and street protests by the country's top wrestlers may cost BJP heavyweight and six-time MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh an opportunity to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Sources in the BJP have told NDTV that the former national wrestling boss may not get a ticket this time from Kaiserganj in Uttar Pradesh, which he has represented for three consecutive terms. The party leadership, a source said, has spoken to the BJP leader about this and may field his son, Karan Bhushan Singh, from Kaiserganj. The heavyweight politician, it is learnt, is still insisting on a poll pass.

Kaiserganj votes on May 20 in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha election. The last date of filing nomination is tomorrow. So, the BJP is expected to make an announcement about its candidate today.
