In a major development, Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh on Sunday declined to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from West Bengal's Asansol constituency. This comes a day after he was named in the BJP's first list of candidates for the upcoming general elections.
Taking to X, Singh also expressed his gratitude to the top leadership of the Bharatiya Janata Party. "The party trusted me and declared me as the candidate from Asansol, but due to some reason, I will not be able to contest the elections from Asansol…" he posted.
