Lok Sabha Elections 2024: BJP is contesting on 75 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh. BJP has announced the names of candidates for 73 out of 75 seats in its quota, but the party has not yet released tickets for two seats. These two seats are Rae Bareli and Kaiserganj. In 2019, Sonia Gandhi reached Parliament by winning from Rae Bareli, the stronghold of Congress and Gandhi family, while Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh managed to win from Kaiserganj for the third consecutive time on BJP ticket. However, suspense still remains regarding the BJP candidates on both these seats, one lost and one won.
What did Brij Bhushan say?
Voting on both these seats will be held in the fifth phase on May 20. Now Brij Bhushan's statement has also come out regarding the delay in announcing the candidate from Kaiserganj seat. Three-time MP from Kaiserganj seat and former President of Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has said that the party leadership knows that BJP is strong on this seat. He claimed that even if BJP announces its candidate a day before, the party will win this seat.
Said- I am also a contender for the ticket…
Brij Bhushan also said that I am also a contender for the ticket but the final decision has to be taken by the party. The party will decide who will be the candidate. Earlier, Brij Bhushan had said that there could be some strategy of the party behind the delay in tickets. I am not bigger than BJP. Whether I get tickets or not is not my concern. Let us tell you that Brij Bhushan, who has been a six-time MP from different assembly constituencies, is active in the area despite the delay in ticket announcement.
Speculation of cutting the card…
There is speculation that Brij Bhushan's ticket will be canceled, but it is also discussed that even if this happens, BJP can field a member of Brij Bhushan's family. The names of his son and wife are also being said to be in the race for ticket from BJP. This is the first time that Brij Bhushan has had to wait so long for a ticket. BJP has so far announced the names of more than 400 candidates but no name has been finalized from Kaiserganj seat.
