Manoj Tiwari Sings Bhajan ‘Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega’, Full Video, Controversy & Political Storm Explained

New Delhi: A video from Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Parvesh Verma’s Diwali celebration has sparked fresh political controversy. The clip shows BJP MP and popular Bhojpuri singer Manoj Tiwari sitting beside Verma and singing the political song “Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega” as guests cheer. A hookah pot also appears clearly in the frame.

Verma shared the video on social media. The clip has drawn attention because it follows another video that showed the Deputy CM smoking a hookah at his official residence. The two videos have now brought together a political slogan, a festive celebration and an ongoing controversy involving the BJP and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP).

The Video That Sparked Fresh Attention

The latest video shows Tiwari and Verma singing together. The song includes lyrics such as “Yahan har dil gaayega, Modi kahin nahi jaayega” and other lines that take aim at the opposition. At one point, Verma takes the microphone and adds a reference to “Italy”, taking a dig at the Gandhi family. Guests at the gathering also join the chorus.

Some versions of the video also show journalist Sudhir Chaudhary attending the celebration.

The song has gained attention because it is not just another festive performance. It represents the BJP’s wider political campaign to counter opposition remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his political future.

Where Does the Song Come From?

“Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega” emerged as a political response to Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge’s remark, “Modi ka baap bhi jayega”, during a party event in Patna. The BJP quickly turned the remark into a slogan that projected confidence in Modi’s leadership and political future.

The party and its leaders soon promoted a high-energy song based on the slogan. Several BJP leaders, including Sambit Patra, Piyush Goyal, Rekha Gupta and Mohan Yadav, shared the track widely.

The lyrics highlight themes of strength, public support and political continuity. They suggest that a lion never bows, public support never fades and “this country is Modi’s”.

Several political leaders have also performed the song at public events. Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal sang it while playing a harmonium, while Kapil Mishra performed it at public gatherings. Manoj Tiwari has now added his voice to the song during Verma’s Diwali celebration.

The slogan has also moved beyond music. Haryana BJP produced T-shirts carrying the message, while supporters displayed placards with the same slogan during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent Gujarat roadshow.

Manoj Tiwari: The Singer-Politician Behind the Performance

Manoj Tiwari brings more than political experience to the microphone. The three-time Lok Sabha MP from North East Delhi and former Delhi BJP president first built his career as a popular Bhojpuri singer and actor before entering politics.

He has also released songs celebrating Modi’s tenure as Prime Minister, including a track marking 12 years of the government.

His background in Bhojpuri music helps him turn political messages into catchy songs with a strong folk influence. This makes him a familiar face at events where the BJP uses music to connect with supporters.

His performance at Verma’s Diwali party once again brought together his musical career and political identity.

The Hookah Controversy That Came Before the Song

A few days before the latest video surfaced, another clip showing Parvesh Verma smoking a hookah at his official residence during a Diwali gathering triggered criticism from the Aam Aadmi Party.

AAP questioned whether the government had used public money to organise the celebration. The party also criticised the Deputy CM’s presence in the video and raised concerns about his conduct as a senior government official.

BJP leaders defended the hookah, saying it represented traditional Jat community gatherings and rural culture rather than a display of luxury or excess.

The latest video has kept the controversy alive. Although the focus has shifted to Manoj Tiwari’s political performance, the visible hookah pot has once again drawn attention to the earlier dispute.

Political Context and Reactions

The incident brings together three major political developments: the BJP’s promotion of the “Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega” slogan, its ongoing political exchanges with AAP in Delhi and the growing use of music to communicate political messages.

BJP supporters see the video as a celebration of Modi’s leadership and a confident response to the opposition. Critics, however, have questioned the optics of a senior minister and a Member of Parliament singing political slogans around a hookah at an official residence during a festival.

Social media users have also focused on two aspects of the video: the catchy political song and the hookah pot visible in the background.

The BJP has already taken the slogan to public rallies, political merchandise and promotional campaigns. Party leaders and supporters now use it as a ready response whenever opposition leaders question Modi’s political position or future.

Why Does This Story Matter?

In Indian politics, music, personalities and controversy often attract more public attention than policy announcements. Manoj Tiwari’s popularity as a Bhojpuri singer gives the BJP’s political slogan a wider cultural reach, helping it connect with audiences beyond regular political gatherings.

Parvesh Verma’s decision to share the video also brings the celebration and its political message into the public spotlight.

The episode shows how a single remark by an opposition leader can turn into a larger political campaign. The BJP has carried the slogan from speeches and songs to placards, T-shirts and now a Diwali party performance.

It also highlights how quickly a political leader’s private or festive gathering can become a subject of public debate, especially when political rivalry remains intense.

The controversy may eventually give way to newer political developments, but “Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega” has already become one of the prominent political slogans of late 2026. Manoj Tiwari’s performance at Parvesh Verma’s Diwali party has added another chapter to the campaign, with the hookah controversy bringing an additional political angle to the video.
