Patna: Bhojpuri cinema superstar and popular singer Khesari Lal Yadav has decided to try his luck in politics. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has announced him as its candidate for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. His entry has created a buzz across both the cinema and political circles, as fans and political observers alike speculate whether his massive popularity on screen can translate into votes.
The announcement has created a buzz in both cinema and political circles. Khesari Lal Yadav shared the news on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating:
"I, your son and brother Khesari Lal Yadav, am contesting this time from Chhapra Assembly. I am not a conventional politician; I am the son of the people, a child of the fields, the voice of every section, and the energy of the youth."

He further emphasized that he views politics not as a race for a chair, but as a responsibility — to bring development to every home in Chhapra and represent the voice of every citizen. He added, "Your blessings will be my biggest support."
Khesari’s entry into politics has generated significant discussion among his fans and the public. Contesting from the Chhapra Assembly seat, his local recognition and immense popularity in the Bhojpuri film industry are expected to play a crucial role in his campaign.
Reports suggest that RJD had initially considered giving the ticket to his wife, Chanda Devi. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded Chhoti Kumari, the current District Council Chairperson of Chhapra, as their candidate from the same constituency.
Expressing his trust in RJD’s ideology and leadership, Khesari said, "The ideology of Rashtriya Janata Dal, the struggle of respected Lalu Prasad Yadav, and the youthful leadership of Tejashwi Yadav are now the guiding light for my path."

आप सबसे दिल से निवेदन है कि कल नामांकन के दिन आइये, अपने इस बेटे और भाई को आशीर्वाद दीजिए, ताक़ि हम आपके हक़ और सम्मान की लड़ाई और मज़बूती से लड़ सकें।🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/ifspGwFq6M
