May 2nd 2024.
After much speculation, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has finally announced its candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In a surprising move, Karan Bhushan Singh has been named as the party's candidate from the Kaiserganj seat in Uttar Pradesh, replacing his father and current Member of Parliament Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has been embroiled in controversy over allegations of sexual harassment of women wrestlers, leading to his replacement by his son.
In another interesting development, Dinesh Pratap Singh has been chosen as the BJP candidate for the Rae Bareli constituency, which has been a stronghold of the Gandhi family for the past five terms. The seat was previously held by former Congress President Sonia Gandhi, who is now a Rajya Sabha MP. The Congress is yet to announce its candidate for the seat, adding to the excitement surrounding this election.
While the decision to replace Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh may come as a shock to some, it is a clear indication of the Thakur leader's influence in the region and within the party. Despite stepping down from his position as the President of Wrestling Federation of India due to the protests against him, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has denied the allegations against him. The Delhi Police has filed a charge sheet against him in court, but he continues to enjoy a loyal support base due to his contributions towards the development of the region through his numerous educational institutions.
On the other hand, Dinesh Pratap Singh, a minister in the Uttar Pradesh government, is no stranger to the political arena. He was the BJP's candidate for the Rae Bareli seat in the previous Lok Sabha elections as well. With both seats going to polls in the fifth phase on May 20, the last day for filing nomination papers being May 3, the competition is sure to be intense.
In conclusion, the BJP's decision to field Karan Bhushan Singh and Dinesh Pratap Singh for the Kaiserganj and Rae Bareli constituencies respectively has added a new dynamic to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. It remains to be seen how these candidates will fare in the face of their opponents and whether they will be able to secure a victory for the BJP.
