Bhojpuri singer and actor Pawan Singh, who had earlier refused the BJP’s offer to contest the Lok Sabha election as the party’s candidate from the Asansol seat in West Bengal, announced on April 10 that he would stand as an Independent candidate from the Karakat seat in Bihar.
Mr. Singh made the announcement with a post on X, saying, ““Mata Gurutara Bhumeru” means that mother is heavier than this land, and I had promised my mother that I will contest the election this time. I have decided that I will contest the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Karakat, Bihar.”
