Arrah: Arun Singh, widely known as Bhojpuriya Kaka, has officially joined the political party Jan Suraaj, pledging to work for the development of Bihar and his home district of Bhojpur. The announcement was made at a press conference in Arrah, where Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor formally enrolled Singh as a member.
A resident of Tetaria village in Arrah Sadar block, Singh has spent the past 25 years in Mumbai working in the Bhojpuri film industry. Speaking at the press event, he said he was motivated to enter politics after witnessing the challenges faced by Biharis outside the state, including discrimination in employment opportunities.
Singh also highlighted the lack of infrastructure for the film industry in Bihar, noting that the absence of a local shooting range forces filmmakers to shoot elsewhere. “Even after establishing my career in Mumbai, I feel a deep responsibility to contribute to Bihar’s growth,” he said.
Rejecting ambitions for electoral office, Singh stressed that his focus would be on development initiatives under Prashant Kishore’s Bihar Badlo Abhiyan. A veteran actor who has appeared in hundreds of Bhojpuri films, he attributed the state’s persistent backwardness and unemployment to systemic issues, describing his political engagement as a step toward meaningful change.
