Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, former Kaiserganj MP, on Wednesday claimed he was removed from the Lok Sabha through a conspiracy and not by public, and promised to return to the lower house again.

Speaking on a news channel podcast, the BJP leader claimed his term was cut short and that he was “humiliated and forced out”. "If I am alive, I will definitely go to the Lok Sabha once again… I will try to contest on a BJP ticket. If the party does not give a ticket, I will contest as an Independent candidate. But if I am alive, I will contest," he said.

He said it was hurtful that he was not invited to the second year of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya despite being a public representative.

The politician added that he later declined another invitation on grounds of self-respect, alleging that the original karsevaks of the Ram Janmabhoomi movement were overlooked while those with no contribution were invited.

He said he has not yet visited Ram Lalla and that when he does, he will stand in the queue like any ordinary devotee.

Recalling the period when allegations of sexual harassment were levelled against him, Singh said Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav did not make any statement against him at the time, a gesture he said he would never forget.

He said leaders from the BSP, JD(U), and RJD also refrained from making statements against him then.

Singh, who represented three parliamentary constituencies of the Devipatan division six times, was replaced by the BJP in the 2024 general election following allegations against him by several female wrestlers.

His son Karan Bhushan Singh was fielded from Kaiserganj and currently represents the seat.
