Khesari Lal Yadav Sparks Political Storm: Takes Direct Aim at BJP’s Bhojpuri Stars Pawan Singh, Nirahua, Ravi Kishan, and Manoj Tiwari

---

Patna: Bhojpuri superstar and RJD candidate from Chhapra, Khesari Lal Yadav, stirred major political controversy on Sunday with his fiery remarks against BJP’s Bhojpuri celebrities. Speaking to the media at Patna Airport, Khesari confidently declared, “My smile says it all — our government is coming.” He accused BJP’s Bhojpuri leaders of using derogatory language against him but claimed he had maintained restraint in his responses.

“If I’m obscene, then all four BJP Bhojpuri actors are Asaram,” says Khesari

Responding sharply to BJP MP Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’, who had labeled him “vulgar,” Khesari fired back, saying,

“If I am obscene, then the four Bhojpuri actors in BJP — Pawan Singh, Nirahua, Ravi Kishan, and Manoj Tiwari — are Asaram.”

He also hit back at Nirahua’s earlier “fugitive” remark, saying,

“A son can still feel his parents’ pain even from afar. These people who can’t understand their own family’s pain — how will they understand the pain of the public?”

Khesari vs Pawan Singh: From Brothers to Rivals

Taking a direct dig at Pawan Singh, Khesari said their relationship had once been like brothers, but things soured when Pawan began using personal remarks involving his wife and sister.

“He used to call me ‘Raja Bhai.’ I was like his Lakshman. But when I stepped away a bit, he began dragging my family into his comments. What kind of culture is that?”

Khesari accused Pawan Singh of double standards, saying:

“This is the same Pawan Singh who once criticized the Modi government when he was contesting independently. Now, standing with the BJP, he praises the same roads and developments he earlier mocked.”

He alleged that BJP’s Bhojpuri stars have insulted him by calling him ‘nachaniya’ (dancer), ‘adharmi’ (non-religious), and even ‘anti-Sanatan’.

“I’m poor, I smoke beedis — I don’t drink people’s blood”

Emotionally responding to personal attacks, Khesari said:

“Yes, I’m poor. I smoke beedis to get by. But at least I don’t drink anyone’s blood.”

Talking about his political ideology, he said his focus was on development, not religion:

“I joined RJD because I believe in progress. Just building airports won’t change the lives of the poor. Will airports erase unemployment or give education to the poor?”

“They talk religion, not jobs”

He criticized the BJP leaders for diverting the election narrative, saying:

“They don’t talk about migration, education, or unemployment. They only know how to divide people in the name of Hindu and Muslim.”

“If I ruined girls’ lives, did Pawan Singh send them to the moon?”

In a biting remark against Pawan Singh’s recent accusation that Khesari had “ruined the lives of girls,” the RJD candidate retorted:

“If I’ve ruined girls’ lives, then has Pawan Singh sent them to the moon?”

He ended his remarks with a sarcastic comment on Pawan Singh’s personal life, adding:

“Even Pawan Singh’s wife, Jyoti Singh, praises me. That says enough about how good a person he really is.”

With these explosive comments, Khesari Lal Yadav has turned the political contest in Bihar’s Chhapra seat into a Bhojpuri battle with national attention, pitting cinema’s biggest stars against one another on the political stage.
