Brijendra Singh ‘not product of nepotism’

“I should not be seen as a product of nepotism. I do come from an influential political family which has been in existence for over a century. But it’s not that I am joining mainstream politics because I had nowhere to go. I had charted my own path in which I fairly succeeded,” Singh had told PTI before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
