#### Why BJP Remains Pawan Singh’s First Choice?

Bhojpuri superstar Pawan Singh continues to be in the spotlight for his political ambitions. Amid ongoing speculation, it has now been confirmed that he is not joining Prashant Kishor’s party Jan Suraaj—at least for now. According to close sources, Pawan Singh’s first preference remains the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), although final agreement on a seat has yet to be reached.

Pawan Singh has confirmed that he will contest the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, but has not yet announced his party or constituency. Reports suggest he may contest from a seat in the Shahabad region. He initially demanded the Ara seat from BJP, but the party declined. Talks were then held about the Barhara seat, but internal conflicts among Rajput leaders over the ticket have complicated the situation.

Barhara Seat: A Crowded Race

BJP has reportedly dropped Raghvendra Pratap Singh from the race.

Ajay Singh and Suryabhan Singh are now strong contenders for the BJP ticket.

From RJD, several names are in circulation, including Saroj Yadav, BD Singh of Maurya Hotel, the daughter of sand trader Punj Singh, and Asha Singh, wife of Surendra Singh.

Jyoti Singh Also Election-Ready

Pawan Singh’s wife Jyoti Singh is also preparing to enter politics. She has announced that she will soon declare her constituency. She is likely to contest from either Dehri or Karakat.

Conclusion:

While Pawan Singh has kept his distance from Jan Suraaj for now, his inclination towards BJP remains strong. If a seat agreement is reached, he may well contest on a BJP ticket. Meanwhile, his wife Jyoti Singh is also preparing to enter the fray—potentially making them a political power couple in Bihar’s electoral arena.
