Political career

Singh, who was a businessman in his earlier life, was aspiring for ticket from Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Samata Party's to contest from Dehri Assembly constituency in 2015. However, in 2015 Bihar Assembly elections, he was denied the ticket by the party. In 2019, the by-polls were conducted in the Dehri constituency, to fill the vacancy arising out of the revocation of the membership of Muhammad Ilyas Hussain in Bihar Legislative Assembly. Hussain was convicted in a corruption case and the Bhartiya Janata Party's candidate Satyanarayan Singh defeated the other candidate, Mohammad Firoz Husain placed by Rashtriya Janata Dal. [4] [5]

In 2020 assembly elections, Fateh Bahadur Singh defeated Satyanarayan Singh Yadav with a margin of 464 votes. The nearest runner-up, Yadav got 63,721 votes. [6]

In 2023, there was a raid by Income Tax Department on the Hotel owned by Singh. It was said to be a statewide exercise ran by IT Department to clean up the administration. [7]

Controversies

He was also in controversy involving the chief councillor, Vishaka Singh; latter was accused of framing fake caste certificate of herself belonging to Extremely Backward Caste, for political gains. However, Singh had lodged a complaint against her with the District Magistrate of Rohtas in connection with the same. [8] [9]

Personal beliefs

Singh has publicly spoken against the expenditure done on celebration of Dussera and has condemned brahminical views on existence of 33 crore deities in Hinduism. In October 2023, he made a public statement that goddess Durga is an imaginary figure and the epic tales of her fight with army of demons is also fabricated. He also called demon king Mahisasura as a hero of Yadav caste. Singh has also questioned that when India was enslaved by the Britishers, why didn't goddess Durga fought to liberate it. Because of his views, he was criticised later by Union Minister Giriraj Singh, who called his statement an attack on Sanatan Dharma. [10]
