Bhojpuri singer Khasori Lal Yadav has made a song "Theekhe Hai" which is a popular track among politicians in Bihar this campaign season. He is not alone. Bhojpuri songs are the first choice for candidates looking to differentiate themselves from the crowd. The Quint spoke to some Bhojpuri singers to find out how they compose political songs, whether the singers have any political bias and which tracks are finding favour with the crowds. Whether these songs will have an impact on the voter, we will only know on 23 May. Watch the full video here.
