Brij bhushan sharan singh biography books

Born on January 8, 1957, in a Rajput family in Gonda district, Uttar Pradesh, Singh's political journey began in his student days.

Immersed in the charged atmosphere of Ayodhya during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement, he emerged as a local face of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His strong personality and alleged links to criminal activities earned him the moniker "Bahubali" (muscleman) – a label that has both lauded and haunted him throughout his career.

Singh's foray into national politics came in 1991 when he won the Lok Sabha seat from Gonda as a BJP candidate.

This marked the beginning of a long and successful political career, interspersed with controversies. He navigated the turbulent political landscape of Uttar Pradesh, switching allegiances from the BJP to the Samajwadi Party and back again, driven by the pragmatism of electoral politics.
