The stage is set at Ambedkar Memorial Park in Lucknow's Gomti Nagar for 'Sahitya Aajtak Lucknow'. On Sunday, BJP MP and Bhojpuri artist Manoj Tiwari graced the event. He shared that he drove directly from Bageshwar Dham to Lucknow. His session was titled 'Ae Raja Ji - Laagal Karejwa Mein Teer'.
In this musical gathering, Manoj Tiwari performed songs and devotional hymns and answered questions in his unique style. Given it was Mahashivratri, he inaugurated the session with the 'Har-Har Mahadev' Shiva hymn. He subtly criticized Rahul Gandhi without naming him.
'Today's Match Victory Belongs to Team India'
On the India-Pakistan match, Tiwari confidently stated that today's match will be won by Team India. He also delighted the audience with his famous song 'Jiya Ho Bihar Ke Lala'. Stepping off the stage, he mingled with the audience for light-hearted chats, endearing him to many.

He specifically urged the youth, saying, 'Study hard, aim high, but always stay connected to your local language'. He sang Bhojpuri songs and highlighted that the first rap was created in Bhojpuri. During this, MP Manoj Tiwari also commented on politics. He expressed confidence that colleagues like Ritesh Pandey and Khesari Lal Yadav would join in unity. 'They are all our brothers,' he said.
'In the Entire Bihar Election, I Was Searching for PK'
Manoj Tiwari remarked, 'Throughout the Bihar election, I was just looking for PK. He had said that if Nitish's party gains 25 seats, he would leave politics. Such grand declarations are unwise in politics; anything can happen.'
He emphasized that saying 'Yes, We Are Biharis' is not just a song but an attempt to make people understand Bihar,
"Artistry that turns clay into goldYes, we are Biharis, indeed."
Regarding the upcoming Bengal election, Manoj Tiwari confidently predicted, 'The people will avenge what happened to them, and saffron will fly high.' He also presented his new song,
"The enemies of the nationWill make us boil over with caste
Half-truth, complete liesThen they'll chase us down
Ram's temple was brokenOn the soil of Ram's birthplaceWho fired directly atRam's devotees' chestsIt is the same onesWho will stir us to fight amongst ourselves"
The session concluded with another Shiv devotional song by Manoj Tiwari.
