The BJP treats citizens like "dispensable pawns", TMC MP Sagarika Ghose said Wednesday after two people were mowed down by a vehicle in the cavalcade of the BJP's Kaiserganj Lok Sabha seat candidate Karan Bhushan Singh, son of former WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. According to police, a woman also injured in the incident in Uttar Pradesh's Gonda on Wednesday. "Shocker. . A car in BJP candidate Karan Bhushan Singh's (son of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh) convoy mows down two children and injures another.
