RJD's Rohini Acharya Hits Back at BJP Over 'Dancer' Jibe
A politician named Rohini Acharya got upset when someone from another party called her friend, a Bhojpuri singer named Khesari Lal Yadav, a 'dancer' in a mean way.
She said that if Khesari Lal is a dancer, then many famous actors and singers in the other party, like Hema Malini and Kangana Ranaut, are also dancers.
She argued that calling artists 'dancers' like this is not nice because artists have done good things for the country.
Rohini Acharya also pointed out that the other party uses these artists to get people to come to their political events.
The elections in Bihar are happening soon, and these kinds of arguments are part of the political talk.
RJD leader Rohini Acharya criticized BJP's Samrat Chaudhary for calling RJD candidate Khesari Lal Yadav a 'dancer'.
Acharya retaliated by referring to BJP leaders Hema Malini, Kangana Ranaut, Manoj Tiwari, Ravi Kishan, Nirahua, and Pawan Singh as 'nachaniya' (dancers).
She argued that these artists are used by the NDA to gather crowds for their election speeches.
Acharya defended artists, stating they have contributed to India and questioning the appropriateness of the term 'nachaniya' for them.
The exchange occurs ahead of the Bihar elections, with Khesari Lal Yadav recently joining the RJD, while many other Bhojpuri stars are with the BJP.
