Lok Sabha elections: Ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan's alleged crimes unlikely to hurt son Karan's poll push in Kaiserganj
Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh in the national capital, the situation is a far cry from that in Kaiserganj, where the former Wrestling Federation of India president is still viewed as a diety.
«Hamare maalik, hamare bhagwan, mananiya saansad Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh ko janmdin ki shubhkamnayein’ — Nivedak, ‘saansad bhakt’ Samrat Gupta. (Heartfelt birthday wishes to our master, our god, honourable MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh — from a devotee, Samrat Gupta),» reads a poster in the Paska Bazaar area, according to a Times of India report.
Singh stronghold
A six-time Member of Parliament, 67-year-old Singh has been accused of sexual harassment by wrestlers following a long period of protest against him. Earlier this month, a Delhi court ordered that charges be levied against him, marking a big moment in the wrestlers' fight to be heard.
As Kaiserganj gears up to vote on May 20 — in the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha elections — Brij Bhushan's avid support is likely to swing towards his son, Karan Bhushan Singh, contesting on a Bharatiya Janata Party ticket.
