Popular folk singer Maithili Thakur, who has won millions of hearts with her soulful voice, is now making headlines for a new reason. According to reports, she may soon enter politics and contest the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 from her home district Madhubani.
Maithili Thakur May Contest Bihar Elections
The buzz around her political debut grew stronger after BJP’s Bihar in-charge Vinod Tawde shared pictures on social media showing Maithili and her father meeting Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai in New Delhi. Tawde called her “Bihar’s daughter” and warmly welcomed her back to the state, further fueling the rumours of her joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Maithili Thakur first came into the limelight through her performances on music reality shows. Over the years, she became famous for singing Indian classical and folk songs in Maithili, Bhojpuri, and Hindi. Her dedication to promoting Bihar’s cultural heritage has earned her respect across India. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi once praised her for keeping the rich traditions of Indian folk music alive.
If the rumours are true, Maithili’s entry into politics will mark a major shift in her career—from music to public service. People in her home region, especially youth and women, admire her for her simplicity, discipline, and cultural pride. Many believe that her popularity and clean image could help her connect deeply with voters in Madhubani, a region known for its art, culture, and political awareness.
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are expected to be a heated contest between the NDA and the INDIA bloc, with issues like unemployment, corruption, women’s safety, and development at the forefront. Maithili’s possible entry could add a fresh and emotional touch to the campaign, symbolizing the rise of new, young leaders from cultural backgrounds.
