Bihar Election: Independent Candidate Jyoti Singh Seeks Public Donations via UPI

Pawan Singh's wife, Jyoti Singh, is actively campaigning for the Bihar Assembly elections as an independent candidate from the Karakat constituency. Following a recent public disagreement with Pawan Singh, she has turned to her followers for financial support.

Key Points of the Donation Appeal:

  • Method: Jyoti Singh posted an appeal on Instagram featuring photos of herself holding a UPI QR code, urging people to send donations.

  • Motivation: She stated that she is contesting to "empower the voices of millions of victims" like herself, claiming she has endured "various atrocities" but is still blamed by some in society.

  • Plea to Public: She requested supporters to send "whatever donations you can" to strengthen her campaign, framing the request personally: "I am your daughter, sister, and responsibility. Today, my daughter is asking for your help."

  • Constituency History: The Karakat Assembly seat falls under the Rohtas district. Voting for this seat is scheduled in the second phase of the election.

    • In the 2020 elections, the seat was won by Arun Singh of the CPI(ML), who defeated the BJP candidate.

This method of using a UPI QR code on social media represents a direct and modern way for political candidates to fund their campaigns through small public contributions.
