Kejriwal is not the only singing CM, here’s a selection

To sing in public takes a lot of courage, especially when you know you are not a professional singer, but a professional politician. A lot goes into creating an image and being off-key can hurt that image. But the smart ones know, you do not need to be a trained singer to break into a song. Because that’s what the average voter does. Arvind Kejriwal sang a prayer the first time he took the oath of office. He repeated it today, with not a care in the world. In spite of a bad throat, thanks to the Crocin-fuelled confidence. Kejriwal was gloriously unbearable, and we loved it.

Here’s the video, followed by a collection of chief ministers, former and present, who dared to sing. 

Shivraj Singh Chouhan singing on Independence Day. He is a habitual ‘offender’ and people love it.

Farooq Abdullah sings a Ram bhajan and he’s good at it. Feel the feel.

But when he sings in Kashmiri, he adds a twist or two. A man who dances to his own tune.

Goa CM Digambar Kamath singing Cantar. And laughs at his own singing.

Meghalaya CM Mukul Sangma singing a pop song. He is a Meghastar.

Yes, you are right, this is the old Bollywood song that inspired the Dayasiri melody.
