TMC slams BJP
The BJP treats citizens like “dispensable pawns”, TMC MP Sagarika Ghose said Wednesday after two people were mowed down by a vehicle in the cavalcade of the BJP’s Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat candidate Karan Bhushan Singh, son of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. According to police, a woman also injured in the incident in Uttar Pradesh’s Gonda on Wednesday. “Shocker. . A car in BJP candidate Karan Bhushan Singh’s (son of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh) convoy mows down two children and injures another. Recall how BJP minister Ajay Mishra Teni’s son Ashish Mishra mowed down protesting farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri in 2021,” Ghose said in a post on X.
