Brijendra, possibly the first incumbent Member of Parliament to part ways with the dominant BJP, stands out amid a trend where leaders from various parties are eagerly embracing the saffron faction. He pointed to three primary reasons for his growing discomfort within the BJP: concerns related to farmers, the status of women wrestlers, and reservations about the Agniveer scheme for armed forces recruitment. During discussions with the media, he also emphasized that the BJP-JJP alliance significantly contributed to his unease within the BJP.
