After a long wait, the BJP declared its candidate from Kaiserganj seat,dropping six-time MP and bahubali Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and fielding his younger son Karan Bhushan instead. The announcement came on May 2 after voting in two phases ended and when the voting process of the third phase was about to complete attracting allegations from the opposition that the party waited for elections to end in Jat-dominated region of west UP. Brij Bhushan against whom charges have been framed under serious charges of outraging a woman’s modesty, sexual harassment and criminal intimidation says that there is nothing wrong in his son being fielded as a candidate and that he will win with an even bigger margin than Singh himself. Singh said that the delay in declaring candidate was the BJP’s strategy and that he has never differentiated between any communities. Exuding confidence in his son’s win, Singh said that he doesn’t need to campaign but is campaigning so that media doesn’t get a chance to say that he didn’t campaign. Singh who has been asking the Kaiserganj public to ensure that they don’t waste their vote for voting for the opposition candidate, refused to answer questions on allegations of sexual harassment charges and cut short the interview with Shikha Salaria of #ThePrintInterview.
