Yet another ruling party MlA caused embarrassment to the JD(U), when his video showing him dancing with bar girls, with vulgar Bhojpuri songs played in the background, went viral on social media. Shyam Bahadur Singh, second term MlA from Barharia in Siwan district is a serial dirty dancer. On earlier occasions too he was caught in vulgar dance and indulging in lewd acts with bar girls hit the social media. But the 50-years old lanky, unshaven lawmaker had no remorse even though he was once reprimanded by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
In the recent video clipping, supposed to be shot in a wedding function in Siwan, Singh, in a drunken state, is seen gyrating with two skimpily dressed bar girls and making vulgar gestures. The bar girls, who are usually brought to marriage functions to entertain the people, are also supposed to taking pleasure in shaking legs and performing ‘thumkas’ (dance steps) by gently hitting the MlA with their body parts.
During the last few years Singh, who also has a habit of jumbo riding, was caught in such acts on camera. In 2010 a local TV channel aired footage of Singh dancing with bar girls. Then again in 2012 yet another footage was aired in which he was making similar gestures towards bar girls at a marriage function. In August 2015, the MlA, who is married and father of three, was seen dancing with girls on the tune of Bhojpuri songs.
Every time Singh apologised for his acts but indulged in the same act again and again. Once he pleaded he did it due to hangover of Holi. Once on the eve of a JD(U) rally in Patna, Singh at his official residence organised a night long orchestra in which bar girls had been brought. The airing of this footage had angered Nitish who publicly chided him and the MlA apologised with promise not to repeat his ‘mistake’.
However, the strange aspect is that the JD(U) never thought of taking any action against its serial dirty dancer MlA. When asked JD(U) spokesman Neeraj Kumar felt sorry and said, “I will only request the God to forgive him because he does not even know what sin he is committing again and again.”
With younger brother an MlA, Singh’s elder brother Thakur Amarjeet Singh in May last shot at a panchayat head along with two others and left them injured for no reason.
Recently, embarrassment was heaped on the JD(U) by some of its MlAs who indulged in illegal and immoral activities like freeing a criminal from police custody and misbehaving with a lade passenger in train. Party has suspended Jokihat MlA Sarfaraz Ahmad who was accused of misbehaving with a woman passenger in Rajdhani Express but did not take any action against its Rupauli MlA and former Minister Bima Bharti who allegedly freed her gangster husband from a police station misusing her position.
