BJP stirs up controversy by dropping Brij Bhushan Singh and fielding his son instead in the Lok Sabha elections. Find out the reactions and twists in this political drama!

In a surprising turn of events, BJP announced the replacement of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, a heavyweight MP and former wrestling boss, as the candidate for the Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat. Brij Bhushan, facing sexual harassment allegations from women wrestlers, was replaced by his son, Karan Bhushan Singh. This decision has sparked a wave of reactions, with Olympic medallist Sakshi Malik expressing disappointment in a social media post.

The younger son of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, Karan Bhushan, is not new to the spotlight. A national-level double trap shooter and a law graduate, Karan brings a fresh perspective to the political field. BJP's move to replace the seasoned politician with his son has raised eyebrows and divided opinions among the public.

Although the BJP's decision to drop Brij Bhushan and field Karan Bhushan as the candidate for Kaiserganj has been met with criticism, the party remains firm in its choice. With the upcoming Lok Sabha elections in 2024, the political landscape in Uttar Pradesh is witnessing a significant shift, setting the stage for a heated electoral battle.

As objections mount from politicians and wrestlers alike, the controversy surrounding Brij Bhushan's replacement continues to unfold. The clash of opinions and the impact on the upcoming elections add an intriguing layer to the already intense political scenario in Kaiserganj and Rae Bareli.
