BJP Bhay Ho | Bhay Ho Counters Jai Ho | Funny Video Bhay Ho by Street Singers of Hyderabad | Bhay Ho BJP Ki Jai Ho

Street singers from Hyderabad have been co-opted by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for its election campaign. Using their singing style, the BJP has responded to the Congress’ ‘Jai Ho’ with its own ‘Bhay Ho.’ This dark ditty has been set to the tune of the Slumdog Millionaire’s theme song ‘Jai Ho’ and to spread the message that there is nothing to cheer about.

Congress was quick enough to take rights & create a video out of much acclaimed song Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire but quicker was the counter strategy from BJP to come out with another video based on the same song. This video titled Bhay Ho speaks something like, Aaja aaja voter is jhanse ke tale, aaja jhote moote vaade ke tale, BHAY HO. The song features street children from Hyderabad, singing the song in the general compartment of a train and a stranger planting a bomb in the railway coach.

The BJP has already released jingles for FM radio focusing on price rise and the daily grind of the poor. BJP says that they have not officially released this video & it’s some party supporter who has sent this video. Have a look on it, and definitely had a laugh watching this video.

Seeking to counter the 'Jai Ho' ad campaign of the Congress, BJP unveiled a parody of the famous Slumdog Millionaire song saying 'Bhay Ho' (let fear prevail).

"The video is not an official one. It is sent to us by a party sympathiser. This song depicts the real situation of the country. It says.... Bhay (fear) ho.... bhook (hunger) ho.... Antak (terror) ho.... Mahangayi (inflation) ho.... phir bhi jai ho," party spokesperson Sidhaarthnath Singh told reporters in New Delhi.

The song features street children from Hyderabad, singing the song in the general compartment of a train and a stranger planting a bomb in the railway coach.

BJP said the street singers are already taking the message against the ruling Congress by their performances.

"The artists are street singers and they are already into the job of taking the message to different areas with this song even before it is unveiled here," Singh said.

Even as the saffron party opposed the idea of the Slumdog Millionaire child artists campaigning for Congress, calling it a "mockery of poverty", the short film features two street children Nagarjun and Durga singing the song.

On being asked if the party feared a copyright violation of the tune by launching the 'Bhay Ho' song, Singh said, "we will respond to the notice if it is sent to us". [via]

Street singers from Hyderabad have been co-opted by the Bharatiya Janata Party into its election campaign. Using their singing style, the BJP has responded to the Congress’ ‘Jai Ho’ with its own ‘Bhay Ho.’

‘Aaja aaja voter is jhanse ke tale, aaja aaja jhoote moothe vade ke tale … Bhay ho bhook ho.’ (beckoning the voter, the ditty asks him to take shelter under false promises and then says let fear spread, let hunger spread).

‘Ratti ratti sachi hamne jaan ganvai, bhooke pet jaag jaag raat bitayi, mandi ki maar mein naukri ganva di, gin gin vade hamne jindagi bita di, mandi ho, atank ho, mahangai ho, bhay ho, phir bhi jai ho …’ (We lost lives through dark terrible nights, we have kept awake with empty stomachs, the economic slowdown has taken away our jobs, we have spent a lifetime counting false promises, let there be a slowdown, let terrorism flourish, let prices rise, let fear spread, even then we will say, victory is ours …)
‘Little to cheer about’

This dark ditty has been set to the tune of the Slumdog Millionaire’s theme song ‘Jai Ho’ and to spread the message that there is nothing to cheer about. BJP spokesperson Siddharth Nath Singh, closely involved in the party’s campaign management, told reporters on Saturday that this ditty would be played at the party’s election rallies.[via]
