Jammu, May 6 -- Despite the criticism from all corners, ultimately BJP has given ticket to Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh's son for the current Lok Sabha election. Singh's son Karan Sharan Singh has been nominated as a BJP candidate in his father's Kaiser Ganj seat in Uttar Pradesh, a seat Brij Bhushan has previously won six times. Brij Bhushan Singh is accused of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour during his tenure as the President of Wrestling Federation of India. Seven female wrestlers, including one minor, had filed complaints with the police accusing Mr Singh of molesting and groping them at training camps and tournaments, but Mr Singh had denied all the allegations, accusing the wrestlers of being "politically motivated."
