IANS Interview: Olympian Bajrang Punia Calls Out BJP For Giving LS Ticket To Brij Bhushan’s Son

By IANS News May 02, 2024 • 20:24 PM View: 342

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh: The BJP on Thursday dropped sitting MP and former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh from UP's Kaiserganj, and instead gave the ticket for the Lok Sabha constituency to his younger son, Karan Bhushan Singh.

A six-term MP, Brij Bhushan suffered a massive political setback due to the allegations of sexual harassment levelled against him that saw some of the country's top women wrestlers hit the streets.

The latest development has drawn a sharp reaction from 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist wrestler Bajrang Punia, who was at the forefront of the protest against Brij Bhushan.
