Bhojpuri cinema star Pawan Singh, recently chosen as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the Bihar Legislative Council elections, visited the party’s state headquarters in Patna. He met with senior leaders, including Bihar BJP President Sanjay Saraogi. Scheduled to file his nomination papers on June 8 alongside other National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates, Singh expressed gratitude for the opportunity and reiterated his dedication to the party. He described the party as his mother and himself as a loyal servant of the BJP family, pledging lifelong commitment and sincere service to both the party and the people.
The BJP has revealed four candidates for the upcoming Bihar Legislative Council elections, with Pawan Singh’s candidacy drawing significant public and political attention. This move has put an end to months of speculation about his future role in active politics. All NDA candidates, including those from the BJP and its allies, are set to submit their nomination papers on June 8 before the Bihar Legislative Council elections. Observers see the BJP’s selection of the Bhojpuri Power Star as a strategic move to blend organizational expertise with broad public appeal, especially in Bihar’s Bhojpuri-speaking regions.
Pawan Singh’s entry into the electoral arena is considered a key development in the ongoing Legislative Council elections. The MLC elections for the 10 seats are scheduled for June 18. Apart from the BJP, the Janata Dal (United) has named four candidates for the elections, while the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) has put forward Ashraf Ansari as its candidate for the MLC election.
