Decision to suspend WFI not taken under any pressure: UP BJP chief

IndiaTimes Sunday, 24 December 2023
Uttar Pradesh BJP chief defends the suspension of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) by the Union Sports Ministry, stating it followed due process. The WFI made a hasty announcement of organizing the U-15 and U-20 nationals without following due procedure and not giving sufficient notice to wrestlers. The WFI elections were won by Sanjay Singh, a loyalist of former president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, amidst protests by wrestlers who had levied sexual harassment allegations against Brij Bhushan.

Lok Sabha Polls 2024: Fatehpur Sikri Braces for Fierce Electoral Battle | Oneindia News

Home to the revered shrine of Sufi saint Salim Chishti and the imposing red sandstone fortress built by Emperor Akbar, Fatehpur Sikri stands as a testament to the grandeur of the Mughal era. In the upcoming elections, the Fatehpur Sikri seat finds itself delicately poised, with both the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party setting their sights on clinching victory. The Congress, contesting 17 seats in Uttar Pradesh as part of its alliance with the Samajwadi Party under the INDIA bloc, has fielded Ramnath Sikarwar, popularly known as 'Fauji Baba,' to take on the BJP's sitting MP, Rajkumar Chahar. Chahar, who had secured a resounding victory in 2019 by defeating Raj Babbar, the then-state Congress president, with a margin of five lakh votes, faces twin challenges this time around. Not only is he grappling with internal party conflicts over his candidature, but he also finds himself confronted with significant anti-incumbency sentiment. Pankaj Mishra, Imran Shah and Rajender Bhandari visited Fatehpur Sikri report. #LokSabhaPolls2024 #LokSabhaPolls #FatehpurSikriLokSabhaPoll #CongressVsBJP ~HT.99~PR.100~PR.282~CA.144~
