Pawan Singh makes U-turn, says he will contest Lok Sabha polls

By IBNS
Mar 13, 2024..

Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh on Wednesday made a U-turn and said he will contest the Lok Sabha polls, days after he backed out as BJP's candidate from the Asansol seat.


"I have decided to contest polls to fulfil the promise made to my mother and the people of the country.I am seeking your cooperation and blessings," he posted on X.

मैंअपने समाज जनता जनार्दन और माँ से किया हुआ वादा पूरा करने के लिए चुनाव लडूँगा
आप सभी का आशीर्वाद एवं सहयोग अपेक्षित है
जय माता दी

— Pawan Singh (@PawanSingh909) March 13, 2024

On March 3, the actor had said he would not contest the polls due to 'personal reasons'.

भारतीय जनता पार्टी के शीर्ष नेतृत्व को दिल से आभार प्रकट करता हु।
पार्टी ने मुझ पर विश्वास करके आसनसोल का उम्मीदवार घोषित किया लेकिन किसी कारण वश में आसनसोल से चुनाव नहीं लड़ पाऊंगा…@JPNadda

He had written on X: "I am thankful to the BJP's top leadership from my heart for selecting me as their candidate from Asansol but due to some reasons I will not be able to fight the polls from the seat."

Asansol to witness clash between two actors 

Asansol is an industrial town.

It is the second largest and one of the most populated cities in the Trinamool Congress-ruled state.

The seat will now see a clash between two actors as the ruling Trinamool Congress, which has decided to fight alone in the West Bengal, fielded Bollywood veteran Shatrughan Sinha from it.

Sinha is also the sitting MP from Asansol.

The BJP had won the seat twice in 2014 and then in 2019 when former Union Minister Babul Supriyo was fielded as its candidate.

However, the Lok Sabha seat fell vacant after Babul Supriyo resigned after switching from the BJP to the TMC.

Sinha won the by-polls in 2022.
