Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh turned lyrical at Sunday's Gonda rally to narrate his "plight" over sexual harassment charges by wrestlers.
"Kabhi ashq, kabhi gam aur kabhi zehar piya jaata hai... ye mila mujhko mohabbat ka sila... bewafa kah kar mujhe yaad kiya jaata hai... issko ruswai kahein ki shohrat apni... dabe honto se mera naam liya jaata hai... (Being called unfaithful is the reward I have received for my love.
Call it notoriety or fame, they take my name clandestinely)," the BJP MP said, without making a direct mention of the protests by top wrestlers like
Vinesh Phogat, Sakshee Malikkh and
Bajrang Punia. He ended his speech with a couplet from Ramcharitmanas.
