Bhojpuri singer-actor Pawan Singh joins BJP

Famous Bhojpuri singer, composer, actor Pawan Singh on Monday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here.

BJP General Secretary Arun Singh formally inducted Pawan Singh into the party by garlanding him with a saffron stole in the presence of party General Secretary and Bihar in-charge Bhupendra Yadav and Bihar state BJP unit chief Nityanand Rai.

The singer said he was impressed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision and his commitment towards the poor.
