Kunwar Bharatendra Singh is an Indian politician. He was a member of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly elected from Bijnor as a candidate of Bharatiya Janata Party.[1] He lost 2019 Lok Sabha election from Bijnor Lok Sabha constituency.[2][3]

He has been in news and controversies as an accused in the Muzaffarnagar riots.[4] He was also issued notice by the Allahabad High Court on an election petition filed by one Rajendra Kumar.[5]

On 3 October 2015, Singh and residents of Vidurkuti village raided an illegal sand mining site along the Ganga river, forcing the miners to flee.[6] In March 2019, an effigy of Kunwar Bharatendra was burnt in Mawana Khurd and people held black flags and protested while alleging no visit from the MP in the region and no development of the area in the past five years.[7]
