Bihar’s political landscape is witnessing an intense reshuffle as the BJP positions itself strategically ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. In the past week, the party has leveraged two high-profile personalities to strengthen its electoral prospects. Popular singer Maithili Thakur, often celebrated as Mithila’s pride, has been in discussions for joining BJP, with signals pointing toward a potential contest from her home constituency, Bene Patti in Madhubani. Maithili emphasizes public service and youth empowerment while assuring that her musical career will continue alongside political engagement.On the other hand, Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh has officially returned to BJP, signaling the party’s intent to consolidate its grassroots and celebrity appeal. Pawan’s return comes amid ongoing personal controversies with his wife Jyoti Singh, whose recent visit to his Lucknow residence and social media outburst added political complexity. Pawan has publicly clarified the situation, asserting that police presence at his residence was preventive and emphasizing his commitment to the public and party.Both stars enjoy immense popularity in Bihar and among the Bhojpuri diaspora, providing BJP with fresh appeal and strategic leverage. Their presence is seen as a blend of celebrity influence and political mobilization, potentially reshaping election dynamics and strengthening BJP’s outreach in key constituencies.
