Former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh on June 11 exuded confidence while announcing plans to contest the Lok Sabha polls from his parliamentary constituency Kaiserganj in 2024.
2024 Ka Chunav Kaiserganj Se Ladoonga: Brij Bhushan
After a rally in his Lok Sabha constituency, the MP made the assertion about the polls. The rally was held on the completion of nine years of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.
Addressing media persons, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said, ”2024 ka chunav Kaiserganj se ladoonga, ladoonga, ladoonga (I will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from Kaiserganj). The BJP will again form a government at the Centre with a majority.”
The rally was a part of the ‘maha jansampark abhiyaan’ that had been announced by the BJP. The MP had earlier called off his public meeting in Ayodhya on June 5. Brij Bhushan hit out the Congress over the Emergency in 1975.
Meanwhile, political experts noted that during his rally, Brij Bhushan targeted the Congress but did not attack UP’s main opposition Samajwadi Party (SP) or the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). ”It could also mean that he may want to keep his options open. One would well recall how he had praised SP chief Akhilesh Yadav for not joining the wrestlers’ protest. In politics, you work on possibilities, and this surely appears to be one if he fails to get a BJP ticket,” Athar Siddiqui of the Centre for Objective Research and Development said.
