She's only 25, Bihar's youngest-ever mla, a folk singing sensation handpicked by bjp to win votes with her fame – and just months into the job, Maithili Thakur is already jetting off to Kerala's iconic Guruvayur temple, posting videos of herself belting out devotional bhajans like tamil classics and Marathi hits. Devotees might love the cultural vibe, but back home, citizens are fuming: Is this what we elected her for?
While her constituency cries for attention, she's treating the mla gig like a glamorous side hustle – full-time singing and temple tours, part-time (at best) public service. All on your taxpayer dime, complete with lavish salaries, allowances, freebies, and lifelong pensions. In a state desperate for development, this celebrity import exposes how politics has become a VIP perk party for the famous, leaving real work to... well, no one.

Temple Tour Over Constituency Grind – Priorities Exposed
Fresh off her november 2025 win in Alinagar, Maithili's dropping everything to perform at Guruvayur, enchanting crowds with multilingual bhajans. Sweet for devotees, sure – but voters in bihar are asking: who's handling roads, schools, jobs back home? Personal passion is fine, but mla isn't a hobby.

Fat Taxpayer Perks While Treating the job as Part-Time
Bihar MLAs pocket around ₹1.6 lakh monthly – ₹50k base, plus ₹55k constituency allowance, ₹40k for staff, ₹3k daily when in session, ₹8k phone bills, stationery cash, and more. That's before free patna housing, vehicle loans up to ₹25 lakh, full medical for family, and travel vouchers worth lakhs. All for a "24/7" role, she's clearly not being taken seriously.
Lifelong Pension After One Term – Ultimate Free Ride
Quit or lose after five years? No problem – ₹45k+ monthly pension kicks in for life, with increments. Maithili could sing her way through one term, bail, and live off taxpayers forever. Defend this if you want, but it's straight-up shameless.
BJP's Cynical Play: Ticket to Fame, Not Work
Parties like the bjp hand seats to celebrities purely for vote-bank magic – win elections on popularity, then let them moonlight. Maithili's talent got her the ticket, but if she's not grinding full-time for constituents, she's fooling the public who voted for change, not concerts.
MLA Is Supposed to Be a Round-the-Clock Commitment
In a struggling state like bihar, lawmakers should be on call 24/7 – fixing potholes, pushing schemes, and hearing grievances. Traveling across india for temple performances? That's not "personal life"; that's neglecting the oath you took.
The Voter Blame Game We Can't Ignore
Harsh truth: gullible electors fall for star power, handing seats to singers and actors who treat politics as a status upgrade. Result? india stays "developing" forever – flooded with part-timers enjoying VIP perks while real issues pile up.
Wake-Up Call: Serious Candidates Only, Please
If you're not ready to ditch the stage for the streets, don't contest. Voters deserve dedicated reps, not fame-chasers milking the system. This isn't hate on Maithili's talent – it's fury at turning public service into a cushy, taxpayer-funded lifestyle add-on. Time to demand accountability before the next election circus.
