Taking a dig at the Ravi Kishan’s claims, Rathore sings, “Khatam rojgar ba.. Corona se lakhan mar gayil le, laashan se Ganga bhar gayale…”

New Delhi: Ahead of assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh, it seems like a war of songs in the state.

Soon after Ravi Kishan, the Member of Parliament from Gorakhpur, released an election song describing the developments in the state under the tenure of sitting Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, a song criticizing the ruling BJP government by Bhojpuri singer Neha Rathore has come out.

In Rathore’s latest track titled ‘UP Mei Ka Ba’ (What’s there in UP?), the singer take a dig on the Yogi government over poor management of the second wave of the COVID-19, the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, and the Hathras rape case.

Listen to the recent track by Rathore: 

The Bhojpuri Singer shared the song on her Twitter handle as well as Youtube channel on Sunday, a day after Ravi Kishan released his song titled ‘UP Mei Sab Ba’ (UP has everything).

Earlier, the Gorakhpur MP in his song had praised the BJP government in Uttar Pradesh in an attempt to woo voters ahead of the upcoming Assembly election in the state.

He sings, “Yogi ke sarkar ba, vikas ke bahaar ba, sadakan ke jaal ba, kaam bemisal ba, Je kabhu na rahal who ab ba…. apradhi ke jel ba, bijli relam rel ba, Corona gayil har ba, Je kabhu na rahal who ab ba…. UP mein sab ba… Nivesh jordar ba, badhal rojgar ba” (There is Yogi government in the state, there is development, roads and electricity in the state. Criminals are behind the bars and there is no COVID cases in UP and the investments and employment rate has increased in the state. There is everything in UP).

Taking a dig at the Ravi Kishan’s claims, Rathore sings, “Khatam rojgar ba.. Corona se lakhan mar gayil le, laashan se Ganga bhar gayale… Mantri ke betuva badi rangdar ba, kisanan ke chhati pe rondat motar car ba, ae chaukidar, bolo ke zimmedar ba?… UP me ka ba” (There is no employment in the state, lakhs have died due to COVID and Ganga was filled with the bodies. The minister’s son has an attitude, he mowed over his car on farmers. ‘Chaukidar’, who is responsible for this?).

NCP leader Nawab Malik had recently shared Neha Rathore’s song on his Twitter handle with caption: “UP mein ka ba… Suniya jarur ba (What is there in UP… Must listen)”.

Meanwhile, Elections for the 403 Assembly constituencies in Uttar Pradesh will be held in seven phases starting February 10.
