Dropping two-time MP Brij Bhushan Singh from Kaisergani, the BJP had picked his son Karan after the country”s top wrestlers accused the BJP leader of sexual misconduct and intimidation. Brij Bhushan Singh was the former president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), and following the protest by wrestlers, he was removed from the post.

Notably, his son and the BJP candidate Karan was elected as the president of Uttar Pradesh Wrestling Association. The election had triggered the wrestlers, and many expressed their discontent by posting protest posts on social media.

The nomination of Karan also drew sharp criticism from the wrestlers and the opposition parties. They stated that giving the ticket to the son of the accused was akin to supporting Brij Bhushan.
