With the Assam Assembly elections due next week, many Renowned Assamese Singers have started jumping ships to various political parties. The most recent one being popular Bhojpuri-Assamese Singer Kalpana Patowary.
‘Melody Queen’ Kalpana Patowary on Friday joined the Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) in the regional party’s headquarter in Guwahati.
Patowary joined the party in the presence of AGP president and minister Atul Bora and other senior leaders. Upon joining, she was appointed as the brand ambassador of the party.
Speaking on the occasion, Kalpana Patowary said that she would play an active role in the upcoming Assam Assembly elections next year, but refrained from directly commenting on whether she would vie for a ticket to contest the polls.
Interestingly, in 2018 Patowary had joined the BJP in Patna in the presence of then BJP President Amit Shah right before the Lok Sabha elections.
