He even got boys to fish coins lying at the bottom of temple ponds. A flood in the district created bigger opportunities & he became civil contractor.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong In 1993, #BrijbhusanSharanSingh was involved in a gunfight.
He had been accused of attempting to murder Vinod Kumar Singh, alias #PanditSingh, a former minister who was once friends with Singh.
During this time Brij joined #BJP.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong In 2004, #BJP replaced #BrijbhusanSharanSingh by #GhanshyamShukla as party’s candidate from Gonda.
Shukla was killed in a road accident which, some alleged, it was actually #murder. Even PM #AtalBihariVajpayee said “Marwaa diyaa (you had him killed)”.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong In 2004, #BrijbhusanSharanSingh’s 22yr-old son Shakti Singh shot himself.
In death note, he wrote: “You were never a good father. Never cared for your children, and only cared about yourself. Our future is dark. There’s no reason why I should stay alive.”

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong #BrijbhusanSharanSingh scored a nationally notable moment in 2008 cross-voting against #BJP in a crucial confidence motion against UPA in #LokSabha.
BJP expelled him and Samajwadi Party welcomed him. However, MODIfied BJP welcomed him again in 2014.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong #BrijbhusanSharanSingh’s political clout remained unaffected.
Despite his confession of murdering #RavinderSingh openly, both #BJP + SP embraced him, covered up all his crimes as he continued to get tickets & win elections and remained WFA chief!

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong Despite severe allegations of #sexualharassment (2 FIRs - 1 under #POCSO Act) and continuing #WrestlersProtests against him, the #BJP MP not only stands unfazed with #Rajput groups; support, but also managed some Sadhus & their akharas to back him.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong @sidshk Most dangerously, with a criminal intention, #BrijbhusanSharanSingh is using his political clout to amend #POSCO Act.
Means, #sexualoffenders & #Paedophiles will roam scot-free in the society & many Babas will get the license to #rape.

@Tinni_Aphrodite @shahidakhtar @neatshots @SakshiMalik @WithCongress @WithRG @AMUAlumniworld @ProfCong @sidshk #BigQuestion: Despite knowing all these, why #BJP is supporting #BrijbhusanSharanSingh ?
Why HM controlled #DelhiPolice can't find any evidence against him ?
Is Modi-Shah positioning him as a counter to #YogiAdityanath's monopoly in #UttarPradesh ?
