Saralnama, Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh announced he won't contest Bihar polls. He posted on X that he's a true BJP soldier but didn't join to fight elections. BJP sources say Singh was in line for Ara or Barhara seat. His exit came after his ex-wife met Jan Suraaj Party's Prashant Kishor. Singh had earlier run as Independent from Karakat in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. BJP hoped Singh would help win OBC Kushwaha and Rajput votes in Shahabad. NDA lost all 4 Shahabad seats in 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Singh may still be a BJP star campaigner in Shahabad and Magadh regions. (Updated 11 Oct 2025, 15:40 IST; source: link)
