BJP leader Brij Bhushan Singh, who is facing allegations of sexual harassment of female wrestlers, has hinted at contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the Kaiserganj constituency in Uttar Pradesh. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not yet announced its candidate for the Kaiserganj seat.
In a statement, Singh said, “I am not a candidate right now. But the BJP has no contest on the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat. Last time, I won the seat by more than 2 lakh votes. This time, the workers have given a slogan of 5 lakh votes.”
Singh, who is the sitting MP from Kaiserganj, added, “If God has decided this, what can I do? But I am a strong contender, so I will contest 99.9 percent, 0.1 percent would remain. Even if the party announced the candidate just an hour before, people would make me win.”
Uttar Pradesh will go to polls in the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections on May 20. In the 2019 elections, Singh secured 5,81,358 votes, while BSP’s Chandradev Ram Yadav got over 3.19 lakh votes and Congress candidate Vinay Kumar Pandey got 3,7132 votes.
