Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh, initially given a BJP ticket to contest from Asansol, West Bengal, has decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Karakat, Bihar, instead. Singh, known for his hit 'Lollipop Lagelu,' had withdrawn from the Asansol race earlier. This decision comes amidst the context of Asansol having at least a 40% Hindi-speaking population. SS Ahluwalia, who replaces Singh for the Asansol seat, was previously the MP of Darjeeling in 2014 and won the Burdwan-Durgapur seat in 2019. Shatrughan Sinha is the current sitting MP from Asansol. JD(U) leader Neeraj Kumar (@neerajkumarmlc) commented on Singh's candidacy, stating that Singh has the right to contest the election to help form PM Modi's next government.
