Pawan Singh’s Bihar Election Strategy: Mending Fences and Seeking a Political Comeback

The Bihar assembly elections are drawing near, and political parties are formulating their plans. Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh is in the news for his recent political activities. Singh met with Upendra Kushwaha, a key figure in the NDA, and then with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. These meetings have sparked speculation that Singh may contest the upcoming elections from the Ara constituency. Singh faced expulsion from the BJP for running against the NDA candidate, Upendra Kushwaha, in the Karakat Lok Sabha seat. Singh’s independent candidacy hindered Kushwaha’s bid, leading to a third-place finish. Singh’s recent actions to bridge the gap with Kushwaha are significant. The BJP had earlier selected Singh for the Asansol Lok Sabha seat, but he withdrew his candidacy following criticism over offensive content in his songs.
