New Delhi: At a rally organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party to give their sexual harassment-accused MP a platform, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said that will be contesting the 2024 polls despite the serious allegations made against him by several of India’s medal-winning wrestlers. The ‘Mahasampark Abhiyan’ was organised to celebrate nine years of the Narendra Modi regime.Several BJP leaders from Uttar Pradesh shared the stage with Singh in Gonda, and the chief guest was Mohan Yadav, minister of state for higher education in Madhya Pradesh. Singh wore a scarf with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s face on it.On being asked at the rally about whether he will contest in 2024, Singh said, according to The Hindu, “Kaiserganj se chunav ladunga (I will contest election from Kaiserganj).” He also claimed that the BJP would win all Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh. “The BJP will form a majority government in 2024 under Modi ji’s leadership,” he continued.The aim of the rally, one of Singh’s aides told The Telegraph, was to show the BJP’s central leadership that Singh enjoys large-scale political clout in his region. “The main objective is to tell Prime Minister Modi and Union home minister Amit Shah that he is in a position to damage the BJP’s prospects in Kaisarganj, Gonda, Balrampur, Faizabad and Shravasti constituencies, from where his supporters came to participate in the public meeting held after the road show,” the aid said.There is speculation, the aide said, that Modi and Shah may ask Singh to resign or even order his arrest – but Singh is unwilling to accept this. “But he is not ready to submit. In fact, he has defied party rules by declaring at the rally that he would contest from Kaisarganj in 2024,” the associate told The Telegraph.Singh did not directly talk about the allegations against him or the wrestlers’ ongoing protest, but started his speech with a couplet suggesting that he is the one being victimised. “Kabhi ashq, kabhi gham, to kabhi zeher piya jata hai. Tab jakar jamane me jiya jata hai. Yeh mila mujhko mohabbat ka sila, bewafa kehke mera naam liya jata hai. Isko ruswai kahen ki shohrat apni, dabe hontho se mera naam liya jata hai [Sometimes you drink tears, sometimes sadness, and at times poison. Only then do you live in society. This is the reward I have received for my love; they call me unfaithful. Call it notoriety or fame, they take my name with pursed lips].”Announcing Sunday’s rally last week, Singh had said on Twitter, “I am organising a huge rally on June 11 at 10 am. This program is proposed at Shri Raghuraj Sharan Singh Mahavidyalaya, next to Balapur on Gonda-Lucknow road. All the supporters, workers, present and former office bearers of the party, respected Pradhan, Chhetrapanchayat members, block chiefs, presidents of municipalities, councilors, district panchayat members, district panchayat presidents and MLAs are cordially invited in the rally.”Earlier, Singh had cancelled a rally planned in Ayodhya.Singh, who was president of the Wrestling Federation of India, is currently facing criminal charges based on complaints of seven women wrestlers that he sexually harassed them. Wrestlers have been protesting against the government’s alleged inaction against the MP. During recent discussions with Union home minister Amit Shah and sports minister Anurag Thakur, the wrestlers were reportedly promised that the police would complete its probe by June 15.
