The signs read: “Na bhule hain, na bhulne denge. We have not and will not forget Sushant. “
With the Bihar Assembly elections months away, the BJP arts and culture wing has released posters seeking justice for Sushant Singh Rajput, the Bollywood actor who was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai on June 14.
Although the party claimed that the Rajput’s death is not an electoral issue, its arts and culture wing has addressed the issue through protest marches, stickers and posters, using the actor’s photograph. The signs read: “Na bhule hain, na bhulne denge. We have not forgotten and will not let us forget Sushant ”. The stickers also mention “Kala evam Sanskriti Prakosth‘, BJP (Bihar) ”.
The state’s BJP arts and culture wing has printed 25,000 car stickers and has been distributing them in various districts since July.
The culture wing, however, maintained that Sushant had been “an emotional, not a political issue” for them and that they had been campaigning online and offline since the actor’s death.
It has printed 25,000 car stickers and has been distributing them in various districts since July. “We also have 30,000 masks with the same message and have been distributing it for some time. We also hold group meetings in Patna during the first week of July. It is just a coincidence that some people noticed the stickers and attributed political motives to it, ”said Varun Kumar Singh, coordinator of the arts and culture wing.
Singh said they had also filmed a two-episode video about Sushant’s life and work. “It will be launched soon on social media. We have been part of the ‘justice for Sushant’ campaign from the beginning and have been instrumental in getting BJP top leaders, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Sushil Kumar Modi and Ram Kripal Yadav, to meet Sushant’s father in July, “he said and He added that actor and singer Manoj Tiwari and Pawan Singh have also joined the campaign.

BJP’s arts and culture wing, however, maintained that Sushant had been “an emotional issue, not a political one” for them and that they had been campaigning online and offline since the actor’s death.
The Rajput death case was delivered to the CBI after a fight between the Bihar and Maharashtra police forces. Bihar police had registered an FIR in sections of the Indian Penal Code, including complicity in suicide based on accusations made by Rajput’s father KK Singh against his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborthy and her family. After this, the Bihar government had recommended a CBI probe if.
Maharashtra had objected to the Patna police registering the FIR and turning the case over to the CBI, saying that it was already investigating the matter as the actor was found dead in his apartment in Mumbai.
However, the high court on August 19 ordered the IWC to investigate the case and requested Maharashtra to help with the probe.
