'Minister Ji, Listen to Me', SP MP Makes Priya Saroj Laugh with Song

A video of Samajwadi Party MP Chhote Lal singing a folk song in Parliament about issues in his constituency has gone viral, bringing smiles to fellow lawmakers including MP Priya Saroj.

In a humorous and engaging display, Samajwadi Party MP Chhote Lal from Sonbhadra has gone viral after a video surfaced showing him singing a traditional folk song in the Lok Sabha to highlight the problems in his constituency. His unique approach to address serious issues using local culture not only entertained fellow lawmakers but also emphasized the dire need for improvement in rail connectivity in the region. The performance led to light-hearted laughter, particularly from MP Priya Saroj, showcasing a lighter moment in the otherwise serious environment of legislative discussions.

During the session discussing the railway grant demands for the fiscal year 2026-27, Chhote Lal creatively raised the concern of his constituency's poor railway conditions. By singing the line 'Sonebhadr ke bhail aaj jarjar halatiya,' he captured the attention of Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Minister of State for Railways Raavneet Singh Bittu. His performance not only provided comic relief but also effectively conveyed the urgent plea for enhancement of rail infrastructure and services in Roberts Ganj, benefiting the citizens.

The response from the Speaker Krishna Prasad Tenneti, who listened intently to the MP’s song, indicates a willingness to address these grievances, promising solutions for the halted train services. Chhote Lal's method highlights the intersection of culture and politics, demonstrating how traditional expressions can be utilized to voice local concerns, thus strengthening the dialogue between lawmakers and the issues facing their constituents.
