Ahead of Bihar Elections 2025, folk singer Maithili Thakur met BJP election in-charge Vinod Tawde and Union Minister Nityanand Rai, sparking the rumour over whether she will contest on a BJP ticket in the upcoming Assembly elections. Reacting to the speculations, Thakur told News 18 that she would like to stand from her village constituency.<\/p>\n
Reports speculate that BJP might field the folk singer from the Alinagar seat in Darbhanga.<\/p>\n
Rumours sparked after Vinod Tawde shared the photos of the meeting with Maithili Thakur on X. Addressing the speculations, the devotional singer said, Maithili Thakur said, \u201cI too have been seeing these things on TV. I recently visited Bihar and had the opportunity to meet Nityanand Rai, as well as Vinod Tawde. We had a discussion about Bihar\u2019s future. I would like to stand from my village constituency because I have an attachment to it.”<\/p>\n
Sharing the photos of the meeting on his X handle on Sunday, Tawde said that the singer and her family had left Bihar in 1995 during Lalu Prasad Yadav\u2019s rule.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family that left Bihar when Lalu Raj came to power in Bihar in the year 1995, the daughter of that family, the renowned singer Maithili Thakur ji, wants to return to Bihar, seeing the pace of changing Bihar.
