DARBHANGA, Oct. 8 -- Popular folk singer Maithili Thakur has dropped a strong hint about her possible entry into politics ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Speaking to a news channel on Tuesday, the 25-year-old singer said she was open to contesting the polls if the party (BJP) decided to field her as a candidate. "It would be a completely different journey for me and I am ready for it," Maithili said. Asked about her preference of constituency, she mentioned her deep roots in both Madhubani and Darbhanga, saying, "My grandmother's village is in Madhubani and my maternal grandmother's village is in Darbhanga. People from both places love me equally. But ultimately, it will be the party's decision." Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as her favourite leader, Maithili said, "I have been listening to his 'Mann Ki Baat' and live speeches for years, which always inspired me." Referring to her recent meeting with BJP national general secretary Vinod Tawde and Union minister Nityanand Rai, Maithili said senior leader Tawde extended his good wishes and even wrote about her on X (formerly Twitter). "It's a big thing for me. I want to serve the people of Bihar. I have already been doing so through folk songs, but if politics gives me another way to serve, I will do it not through politics but through service to the region" she remarked....
