Lok Sabha Election 2024: BJP Expels Pawan Singh For Contesting Elections Against NDA Candidate | ABP News

Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday expelled Bhojpuri singer Pawan Singh for contesting Lok Sabha elections against the National Democratic Alliance's candidate. Earlier, Singh announced his decision to contest as an independent candidate from the Karakat constituency in Bihar.

He had earlier refused the saffron party's offer to contest the Lok Sabha election as the party’s nominee in West Bengal. Following this, he filed his nomination papers as an independent in his home state Bihar on May 9.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and state BJP President Samrat Choudhary commented on the expulsion of Singh saying: "It's obvious if someone contests election against the party, such actions are taken at the party's level."
