Popular singer who questions power through her folk songs @nehafolksinger When did he sing that “Ka Ba in UP?” So the BJP government sent a notice to his house through the hands of the police…
Is BJP so scared of the voice of a folk singer?
Embarrassing. This is very shameful. https://t.co/CVWKzwSDxz– Manish Sisodia (@msisodia) February 22, 2023
