‘Divisions will crop up when they grow up…’: Brij Bhushan’s viral video sparks fresh political buzz.

A video featuring former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP from Kaiserganj, Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, has surfaced online, wherein he is seen speaking candidly about harmony and coexistence between the forward and backward castes. In the viral clip, Brij Bhushan’s young grandson is seen walking past him while holding hands with a village boy. Curious, Brij Bhushan asks the boy about his caste. When the youth walking by replies that he belongs to the Goswami community, the former MP remarks, “How would children know who is forward and who is backward? When they grow up, differences will naturally be created among them.”
Brij Bhushan further noted that a better sense of coordination and harmony is currently visible between the upper and lower castes in society. He pointed out that this was the first time the two children had met, and it wasn’t as if they interacted on a daily basis. In the video, both kids can be seen smiling affectionately and walking hand in hand. Towards the end of the clip, Brij Bhushan is seen instructing his grandson to feed something to his new friend, highlighting a heartwarming moment of innocence.
It is worth noting that Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh perpetually remains in the media limelight due to his uninhibited remarks and political stances. Recently, he made headlines by praising Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, stating that the opposition’s INDIA bloc is meaningless without Akhilesh. Responding to the praise, Akhilesh Yadav acknowledged that he shares a very good rapport with Brij Bhushan. Prior to this, another video had gone viral featuring a supporter telling Brij Bhushan that he dreamt of election symbols arriving and Brij Bhushan getting the SP’s ‘bicycle’ symbol, to which the former MP simply smiled and walked away, further fueling political speculations.
