Bhojpuri actor-singer and BJP MLC Pawan Singh has found himself at the center of a fresh political controversy after RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav launched a sharp verbal attack against him during the grand finale shoot of the reality show *Bhojpuri Bawaal* in Patna.
Speaking to reporters, Tej Pratap accused Pawan Singh of misusing his political position and made sensational allegations regarding alcohol consumption. He claimed that some artists perform under the influence of alcohol and specifically named Pawan Singh, saying that if a proper test were conducted, he would be caught. The former Bihar minister also alleged that the BJP leader is enjoying the benefits of power while ordinary people continue to struggle.
The controversy escalated further when Tej Pratap used the term “lafua” while referring to Pawan Singh, remarking that he does not discuss “loafers” and calling the Bhojpuri superstar a “big lafua.” The comments quickly went viral across social media platforms, triggering strong reactions from supporters of both leaders.
Pawan Singh has not yet issued a detailed response to the allegations. The exchange comes at a time when both political and entertainment personalities in Bihar continue to attract significant public attention ahead of key political developments in the state.
