In a political race overwhelmed by tunes and recordings via online media, a little gathering in the place where there is amazing artist Bhikhari Thakur is adhering to nukkad naataks.It’s a sluggish non-weekend day morning at a commercial center in Bihar’s Chhapra town. Businesspeople don’t anticipate a great deal of clients during this time. The neighborhood diner has barely any benefactors, and the staff members are clustered at a corner table. Unexpectedly, a man shows up playing a ‘damru’, a jamoora close by. A few businesspeople turn upward, yet are not intrigued enough to venture out yet.
The jamoora rests, the madaari asks him what he can see. “Rhea Chakraborty,” the jamoora answers. “All over the place, across news channels, this is the most significant name in the nation at the present time. No other issue matters as much as that one name, Rhea Chakraborty.”People chuckle, a couple of accumulate around the two entertainers. The madaari and jamoora go on from that point, raising the issues confronting the nation and Bihar, making rude agrees at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The group swells.Such nukkad naataks, or road plays, are new to political race crusading in Bihar. RJD pioneer Jeetendra Kumar Rai, sitting MLA and competitor from Marhaura, saw them being performed by the AAP in Delhi and was inspired.Campaigning here observes a great deal of Bhojpuri tunes, and this time, obviously, web-based media stages are overwhelmed with political decision related recordings,” says Rai. “Yet, Chhapra is the place where there is the incomparable Bhojpuri dramatist Bhikhari Thakur, and I needed to accomplish something that would feature his heritage. Likewise, tunes and recordings are a uninvolved method of interfacing with your chiefs. The nukkad naatak is a more two-way measure. The entertainers get a feeling of what jokes and issues are clicking with individuals.”

At a certain point during the naatak, ‘Nitish’ and ‘Modi’ seem integrated with their backs to one another, a burrow at the ‘twofold motor sarkaar’ the BJP and JD(U) run in Bihar. “You allowed us 15 years. We have utilized this chance to accomplish something immense,” says ‘Modi’. “We have figured out how to sort out that all the issues confronting the state are a direct result of the past government.

The day China conveys on its guarantees, Bihar will have enterprises.”

The play has been composed and coordinated by Jainendra Dost, a producer who runs the Bhikhari Thakur Repertory Training and Research Center in Chhapra. “Jitendra ji came to me with the thought,” Dost says. “I considered what sort of an effect a live play would have in a political decision overwhelmed by web-based media crusading. Nonetheless, artistes and entertainers had been long out of occupation because of Covid-19, and this appeared to be a decent chance. Likewise, a live exhibition can pass on subtleties hard to catch in a recorded show.”

The production has just had in excess of 100 showings. The vast majority of the entertainers are Dost’s understudies, and they state the reaction from watchers has been eager. “One purpose behind this,” says Dharmraaj, one of the entertainers, “is that individuals are truly disturbed, what with the floods and Covid-19, and the play offers them an opportunity to chuckle at their disappointments. The giggling is additionally a proportion of their estrangement with the decision administration. The powerful are genuinely in a tough situation when they can be diminished to a joke.”
Kumar Gaurav, a 34-year-old Chhapra occupant, ran over the naatak by chance yet kept viewing “since it inspired an emotional response”. “The entire day, we are exposed to exaggeration and publicity by ideological groups. This unsparing investigate of the individuals who view themselves as powerful was invigorating. Obviously, the group at the production doesn’t mean everybody will go from here and vote in favor of the RJD. They, as well, have a great deal to respond in due order regarding. In any case, it is only acceptable to watch something that makes you both chuckle and think,” Gaurav says.
