Bhojpuri singer-actor and BJP member Pawan Singh on Sunday said he prefers to stay away from political comments. He stressed that he considered himself an artist and “son of the people of Bihar”, not a politician. Comparing Bihar’s progress in the last fifteen years, he said there is a “clear difference” in the development then and now. Singh’s comments come after Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi participated in the traditional process of fishing with local fishermen. The Congress leader, who is campaigning in the state ahead of the two-phase assembly elections starting on November 6, jumped into a pond and participated in the traditional practice of fishing using hands and nets.

Speaking to reporters on Rahul Gandhi’s involvement in the fishing process at Chaparia pond, Singh said, “Let him do whatever he wants to do.” Distanced himself from making political comments on Tejashwi Yadav, Pawan Singh said, “I do not want to comment on anyone (Tejashwi Yadav). I am an artist. I am not a politician. I am the brother and son of the public. I am getting a lot of blessings. The public is wise and they stand with development. Everything is in front of the eyes. Every village is illuminated with electricity.”
