Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh has refused to contest elections from Asansol Lok Sabha seat. Pawan Singh’s name was in the first list of BJP and the party had made him a candidate from Asansol seat of Bengal.
BJP had made Pawan Singh its candidate from Asansol in West Bengal from where TMC leader Shatrughan Sinha is currently the MP.
Pawan Singh backed his candidature from Asansol
Posting on X, hai Pawan Singh said, ‘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 elections from Asansol…’
Reposting this post of Pawan Singh, TMC General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee has taken a dig at him. Abhishek Banerjee wrote, ‘The indomitable spirit and strength of the people of West Bengal.’
Earlier, when BJP announced Pawan Singh’s name for Asansol seat on Saturday, he immediately posted and thanked the BJP high command.
He wrote, ‘I saluted and congratulated national leadership, all the respected dignitaries of the Bharatiya Janata Party for making me the Lok Sabha candidate from Asansol.’
After all, why did Pawan Singh refuse to contest elections from Asansol?
However, with the sudden announcement of Pawan Singh not contesting the elections from Asansol, many questions have started being raised. Many people including Pawan Singh’s fans want to know why Pawan Singh has refused to contest elections from Asansol.
After the announcement of this list, Pawan Singh also thanked the BJP leadership for this.
Day after BJP announcing his name, his supporters is in full high mood
A video of him expressing happiness with his colleagues was also revealed. But, exactly one day later, on Sunday, Pawan Singh withdrew his name through social media site. Now it remains to be seen what is the real reason for this.
Analysing about the reasons behind Pawan Singh’s refusal to contest the elections, political experts say that Pawan Singh wanted to contest the elections from Aaraa Lok Sabha seat.
He has also made special preparations to contest elections from Aaraa. But, when he got the ticket from Asansol, perhaps he would not be satisfied with it. There is a discussion going on in the political circles about Pawan Singh choosing other options.
Babul Supriyo on Singh’s step
In fact, just a short time after Pawan Singh’s refusal to contest the elections, Babul Supriyo also shared a post on social site X. In this post, he has written that after pressure from BJP, Pawan Singh has withdrawn his name citing ‘personal reasons’.
It is absolutely impossible that BJP will name a candidate in its first list without his consent or detailed discussion with the candidate. Even this morning the BJP was defending his candidature.
Now they admit that it was an insult to Bengali women and Bengali sensibilities, which BJP never understood before.. They have been shown the mirror! However, I repeat, I have nothing personal against artist Pawan Singh.
Babul Supriyo
It is surprising if someone returns the ticket to a party whose leaders are giving the slogan ‘This time we cross 400’. To put it simply, the party has been brought into disrepute. Bhojpuri film superstar Pawan Singh returned the Bharatiya Janata Party ticket after a day. But still he is with BJP, try to contest from Aara rather than Asansol.
