Former BJP MP and ex-WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has reiterated his stance that allegations of sexual harassment against him are a 'conspiracy of the Congress.'
Speaking at a smartphone distribution event, Singh targeted senior Congress leaders from Haryana, asserting they engineered the accusations for political gain. His comments come after wrestlers Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia met Rahul Gandhi and joined Congress ahead of the Haryana assembly polls.
Phogat claims BJP backed Singh, while Congress supported wrestlers 'dragged on the roads' of Delhi. Singh, recalling past accusations and his 1996 arrest, maintains his conspiracy theory, emphasizing increased public attention and selfies with him post-allegations.
