Hindustan Times Ludhiana
|November 25, 2025
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has sent legal notices to 32 Bhojpuri, Maithili and Magahi artists over songs mentioning the party and its leaders, including Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav, with leaders alleging that these songs “tarnished its image” during the recently concluded Bihar assembly elections.
“The notices ask why permission was not sought for the use of the party and leaders’ names and their image. The party's legal team will now review the clarifications from those singers. If the response is unsatisfactory, further action will be taken,” RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav said on Monday. The party has not disclosed the names of the 32 artists.
