 "Did Sonu Nigam criticize Ayodhya voters for not supporting BJP? Here's the truth")
Earlier this week, the Lok Sabha Elections were out and we saw the BJP winning maximum constituencies but getting defeated in Faizabad, which houses Ayodhya and the newly built Ram Mandir.
Sonu Nigam slammed Ayodhya voters for not electing BJP despite their hard work and wrote on X, “The government which beautified the whole of Ayodhya, gave a new airport, railway station, built the Ram temple after 500 years, created an entire temple economy, that party is having to struggle for the Ayodhya seat. People of Ayodhya are ashamed!” A section of the media even reported on Sonu’s comment on Ayodhya reporters.
Hello Everyone,

I, Sonu Nigam, am writing to address the recent allegations made against me by the singer Sonu Nigam as reported in the captioned link. It has come to my attention that Mr. Nigam has expressed concerns and is planning to take legal action against me accusing me… pic.twitter.com/JIYdedOMvG
The real truth
However, the real truth is the X handle (previously known as Twitter) was Sonu’s namesake and not the singer’s official account.
Clarifying this, Nigam told HT, “I wonder how people, including the news channels that mistook him for me, didn’t do their basic sanity check by reading the description of the account. His handle says Sonu Nigam Singh and the description says that he’s a criminal lawyer from Bihar.”
“This is the kind of nastiness that forced me to quit Twitter seven years ago. I don’t believe in making sensational political remarks and I only focus on my work. But yeh incident alarming hai, not just for me, but also my family’s safety,” he added.
“This user has been doing this for a while. I’m often inundated with screenshots of his tweets from my well-wishers. My team reached out to him and insisted he fixed his handle name and stopped pretending to be me, as millions of people are being mislead by the use of my surname. I’m sure we will find a way to fix this,” the singer said.
