Political career edit
He contested Lok sabha election and secured 4.10 lakh votes. In March 2014, a video clip surfaced in which Masood was seen threatening the BJP's Prime-ministerial Candidate, Narendra Modi.[1] Masood's partisans claim that this clip was six months old and had been deliberately leaked to polarize the electorate ahead of the Lok Sabha election. BJP's Raghav Lakhanpal defeated him in 2014 Lok Sabha election. He contested 2017 assembly election of UP and lost.[2]
On 29 March 2014, he was arrested by Police for his Hate Speech against Narendra Modi.[3]
