Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh took a U-turn on Wednesday week after opting out of the Lok Sabha elections race saying he will contest the general election to fulfil the promise that he had made to his society, people and mother.

Taking to X, the Bhojpuri star informed about it and said that everyone’s blessings and cooperation are expected. Earlier on March 3, Singh had said he would not be able to contest the elections from Asansol, just a day after his name was included in the first list of 195 candidates announced by the BJP.

His decision to opt out of the general election race on March 3 came after a significant social media backlash against the singer’s songs that contain objectionable references to Bengali women.

After his name was included in the BJP list, he extended his gratitude to BJP leadership for trusting him and announcing his name as the candidate from Asansol. Adding that, he said but due to some reason, he won’t be able to contest the elections from Asansol.

The selection of Singh, who hails from Bihar, for the Asansol seat had caused a controversy. Many have raised concerns over his discography, which includes several songs with derogatory references to Bengali women.

The criticism on social media did not go unnoticed, and the BJP reportedly anticipated that Singh’s candidacy might harm its chances in Asansol. Thus, a decision was made to drop him, and he was informed accordingly. Following this, Singh tweeted that he was withdrawing from the race.

The current representative of the Asansol Lok Sabha seat is Shatrughan Sinha from the Trinamool Congress party. Sinha won the by-poll held in 2022 after Babul Supriyo, a singer-politician who won the seat for BJP in the 2014 and 2019 general elections, switched to Trinamool Congress. TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee had tweeted about the strength and resilience of the people of West Bengal.

Amit Shah accuses Congress of preserving Article 370 for 70 years

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Sunday attacked Congress on Sunday for preserving Article 370 of the Constitution, due to which terrorism increased in the country. He further added that BJP will never let another division of the country happen. Shah was addressing a Lok Sabha election rally in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh where he said the Congress and the Samajwadi Party preserved Article 370 for 70 years, due to which terrorism in the country increased.

Addressing the people Shah said they had made Modiji the prime minister for the 2nd time and he abrogated Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.  He compared the situation to earlier times in the valley, when the Army had to be taken along for hoisting the tricolour, at that same Lal Chowk (Jammu and Kashmir) to the situation now when the shobhayatra of Lord Krishna is being taken out. The rally was organised to garner support for B P Saroj, the BJP candidate from the Machhlishahr Lok Sabha constituency in Jaunpur.

Shah further added that the divisive policies of the Congress want to divide the country again but BJP will never let that happen again. The Union Home Minister accused the grand old party of spreading lies that if PM Modi comes to power for a 3rd time at the centre then he will abolish reservation.

Shah Pointed out that the prime minister has been in majority for the last 10 years and he did not use it to abolish reservation. Shah said, he wanted to ask (SP chief) Akhilesh Yadav and (Congress leader) Rahul Gandhi that when their government was in power for 10 years, what did Uttar Pradesh get in that period? The UPA government gave Rs 4.9 lakh crore to Uttar Pradesh in 10 years as compared to the NDA government which gave Rs 19.11 lakh crore.

Kejriwal pointed out that ED’s lawyer has already given this statement in court that soon after the election, AAP’s bank accounts will be frozen. He said that if they freeze their accounts now, then AAP will get sympathy. As a result after the election, ED will freeze AAP’s bank accounts.
