What did the wrestlers say?
Despite the serious allegations of several women wrestlers, outrage is being expressed on social media after Brij Bhushan’s family was given the ticket to Kaiserganj.
Sakshi Malik, the country’s first and only female wrestler to win an Olympic medal It is written on x, ‘Malik’s girls lose, Brij Bhushan wins. We all put our careers on the line, slept on the streets for days in the sun and rain. Brij Bhushan has not been arrested so far. We were not asking for anything, just resignation. Leave the arrest, today you have demoralized crores of women of the country by giving ticket to their son. If the ticket is only for one family, is the country’s government so weak in front of one man? Vote in the name of Lord Shri Ram, what about the path shown by him?’
Sakshi Malik played a leading role in the protest against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. In Sakshi’s post about giving tickets to Karan, she has tagged Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat.
BJP considers itself the biggest party in the world but gave ticket to Brij Bhushan’s son among its lakhs of workers, that too when BJP is surrounded by Prajwal Revanna case.

Bajrang Punia wrote in a post on X, ‘BJP considers itself as the biggest party in the world, but it gave ticket to Brij Bhushan’s son from among its lakhs of workers, that too when BJP was standing still Riva’s relative. . In the Punjab and Haryana movements, people here are raising a slogan, “Don’t come from the government, take care of yourself.” It is unfortunate for the country that the women who have won medals will be dragged through the streets and honored by giving tickets to the son of a sex offender.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Punia said, ‘By giving ticket to Brij Bhushan’s son Sharan Singh, BJP has shown that it does not value women’s voice and is not concerned about women’s safety. It is shameful that the government supports a person who sexually harassed the sisters and women of the country… giving a ticket to the son of such a person is like giving him a ticket (Braj Bhushan Sharan Singh). Power will rest with the father. The son is only for show.’
