BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj rebels against party, fields Arun Singh as independent candidate for ZP polls
BJP leadership cancelled Singh's candidature after Unnao Rape victim wrote to PM, CM
Singh is close aide of Unnao Rape accused, former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar
Lucknow: A day after the BJP high command canceled the ticket of Arun Singh as party’s candidate for Zilla Panchayath chief, BJP MP Sakshi Maharaj has reportedly rebelled against his own party and has made Arun Singh file nomination as an independent candidate for the post.
The information was shared by senior journalists like the Editor of ABP News Pankaj Jha and Rohini Singh on Twitter.
Arun Singh’s candidature was canceled by the party’s high command following a complaint by the infamous Unnao Rape case’s victim that Singh was close to the accused of the rape case and former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.
On Thursday, the Unnao rape victim in Uttar Pradesh wrote to President Ram Nath Kovind, PM Narendra Modi, and Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, demanding the BJP to change its candidate for the post of the Zila panchayat chairman as she said, he is "very close" to jailed former MLA Kuldeep Singh Sengar.
“It is my demand from the party and the government to withdraw Arun Singh's name and declare someone else as its candidate,'' the rape case victim had said in her letter claiming that her life was in danger if Singh was the party gives a ticket to Singh.
The elections for the post of the Zila panchayat chairman are scheduled for July 3. The BJP had replaced Arun Singh with Shakun Singh.
Kuldeep Singh Sengar, a former BJP MLA from Unnao's Bangarmau seat, was accused of rape by the victim in 2017. A Delhi court had sentenced Sengar to life imprisonment in the case in December 2019.
