New Delhi : When BJP released its list of 195 candidates for the Lok Sabha elections, it included names of candidates from 20 out of 42 seats in West Bengal. Pawan Singh, famous as Bhojpuri singer and power star, was made the party’s candidate from Asansol parliamentary constituency. Pawan Singh needs no introduction in Bhojpuri film and music industries. Pawan Singh has a huge fan base. The popularity of Pawan Singh is such that as soon as his song is released on YouTube, it gathers four to five million views in a single day. In such a situation, when his candidature was announced from Asansol, there were many people who were very surprised. People said that Pawan Singh should have been given ticket from Arrah, then why was he given ticket from Asansol in Bengal. However, the number of people who have settled in Asansol from Bihar and speak Bhojpuri is also quite significant. Well, the popularity of a star like Pawan Singh is such that he has a good penetration not only in his native state but also in those states where people who listen and speak Bhojpuri are present. The dominance of Bhojpuri can be understood from the fact that Bhojpuri singers and actors like Manoj Tiwari not only win the Lok Sabha elections from Delhi but also hold the responsibility of State BJP President in Delhi.
Why did Pawan Singh return the ticket?
When the party declared Pawan Singh as its Lok Sabha candidate, Pawan Singh reacted warmly. Pawan Singh wrote in the tweet, Heartfelt thanks to the top leadership. Along with this he also tweeted a poster. It was written in it that I salute and congratulate all the great personalities of the Bharatiya Janata Party for making me the candidate from Asansol (West Bengal) Lok Sabha constituency. Not even 24 hours had passed since this post and the picture changed completely. Pawan Singh refused to contest elections from Asansol. He also gave this information through a post on X. In his second post, Pawan Singh tagged JP Nadda and wrote that I express my heartfelt gratitude to the top leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party. The party trusted me and declared me as the candidate from Asansol, but due to some reason, I will not be able to contest the elections from Asansol…. After all, what happened in less than 24 hours that Pawan Singh decided not to contest the elections. No official comment has yet come from the party regarding withdrawal of Pawan Singh’s candidature. However, clearly the reason behind this is believed to be the controversy surrounding his candidature in West Bengal.

issue of insult to women
Ever since Pawan Singh got the ticket, TMC had attacked the candidature of the Bhojpuri singer. Trinamool Congress, through Pawan Singh, is accusing BJP of being anti-women. Party supporters said that on one hand, PM Modi talks big about women power, while on the other hand, he fields a misogynist and one who misbehaves with women. Pawan Singh was having a dispute with his wife for a long time. Not only this, the news of his misbehavior with a famous Bhojpuri actress also made headlines in the media. TMC said that the women of Bengal will give you a befitting reply. Opposition parties were demanding to keep Pawan Singh out of Bengal. There were also protests in Bengal against Pawan Singh’s anti-women and obscene songs. In Bhojpuri, Pawan Singh has made some songs and albums about Bengali women. He was facing constant criticism regarding them. Opponents said that Pawan Singh makes such videos which are extremely obscene, anti-women and misogynistic. In his videos he targets the women of Bengal. TMC’s newly elected Rajya Sabha MP Sagarika Ghosh had raised questions on Pawan Singh’s candidature with the song ‘Hum Haseena Bengal Ke’.

Fear of losing Sandeshkhali’s lead
BJP continues to be aggressive on the TMC government on the issue of Sandeshkhali. The way BJP had made the issue of Sandeshkhali a topic of national discussion, TMC definitely seemed to be on the backfoot. BJP had not lost any opportunity to corner Mamata Didi on the issue of Shahjahan Sheikh. PM Modi had also cornered the West Bengal government a lot in Bengal. In Bengal, through Sandeshkhali, BJP was moving forward on the issue of fighting for women’s identity and their respect. BJP is also engaged in the strategy to corner TMC on this issue in this general election. In such a situation, if the issue of women’s identity and respect arises after Pawan Singh’s candidature, he could definitely suffer loss. In such a situation, it was not in the interest of the party to escalate the dispute. Its effect can be seen in Bengal as well as the bordering states of Bihar.

we don’t know much
People opposing the candidature of Pawan Singh were posting many of his videos on social media. In one such video, he was asked a question, what will be your issue in the field of politics? On this Pawan Singh says that I do not understand the meaning of the issue. When asked a question about development regarding winning the elections, Pawan Singh said that I do not know much about it. If you want to ask me about singing and acting, then ask. In the video, Pawan Singh was clearly heard saying that he has only two goals in life. Oh Lord, give me that much money…look, we are fond of cars…we want any car that catches our eye. A user @kumardhruv1234 wrote that this man does not know what politics is, so why did BJP give him the ticket. Another user @kumar_anshul123 said that what question was asked and what answer is being given, what will happen to this Lok Sabha constituency if such a person has got the ticket. A user @DevenderYadav_ wrote that if Modi ji has chosen the candidate, he must have chosen it after some thinking. Where do such great people come from, BJP is making fun of the public.
