BJP MP Brij Bhushan also announced that he would contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections again from the Kaiserganj constituency, against whom there were allegations of sexual harassment.
Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Singh is once again making headlines with his speech, this time in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. In his fiery speech on Sunday, Bhushan took a jibe at the protesting wrestlers without mentioning them.
Singh, who made some big announcements during this address, began his speech with emotional lines on love, pain and betrayal.
,Sometimes love, sometimes sorrow, sometimes poison is consumed. I live in the time of addiction. Yeh mila mujhko ka sila of love, bewafa kehke mera naam liya jaata hai. Isko raswai kahen ki apni fame, dabe lips to mera naam liya jata hai,” Bhushan Singh said.
The translation of these lines is “Sometimes you bear tears, sorrow and sometimes poison. Only then you are able to live and face the society. This is the reward of love, called unfaithful. Call it infamy or fame, They take my name with sealed lips.”
The BJP leader made the remarks while speaking at the party’s ‘Maha Sampark Abhiyan’ for the 2024 polls.
BJP MP Bhushan also announced to contest the 2024 Lok Sabha elections again from the Kaiserganj constituency amid allegations of sexual harassment against him.
He also said that the BJP would form a majority government next year.
Asked why he was not commenting on the wrestlers’ protest and what he was waiting for, the BJP MP said, “The court’s decision.”
Singh remains defiant despite facing possible action from the Delhi Police, which has recorded statements of over 200 people in connection with the case against him and will file a charge sheet by June 15.
The protesting wrestlers on Saturday alleged that he was using his influence to pressure sexual harassment victims and force them to change their statements. They also threatened to start agitation again if no decisive action is taken against the MP by June 15.
Singh has denied the allegations leveled against him and claimed that some Congress leaders from Haryana had hatched a conspiracy to defame him because of the reforms he had brought in as the chief of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
