Bhojpuri singer-actor Pawan Singh on Saturday clarified that he has not joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to contest the Bihar election as he asserted his loyalty towards the party.

“I, Pawan Singh, want to tell my Bhojpuri community that I did not join the party to contest the Bihar Assembly elections, nor do I intend to contest the Assembly elections. I am a true soldier of the party and will remain so,” he said in a post on X in Hindi.

Pawan Singh, popularly known as the ‘Power Star’ and a favorite among the youth, was expelled in May 2024 after contesting the Karakat Lok Sabha seat as an independent against the NDA candidate.

His decision split the alliance’s votes, paving the way for the opposition CPI-ML candidate to defeat Kushwaha.
