 In an apparent attempt to pull the plug on Congress's 'Jai Ho' campaign, BJP has released a parody of the 'Slumdog Millionaire' song



called 'Bhay Ho' which describes how the nation has been facing 'bhay' (fear), 'bhookh' (hunger) and 'aatank' (terrorism) over the past five years.

According to the party, the song and its video released on Saturday is the creation of a party sympathiser. "This is not an official video. It was sent to us by a party sympathiser. This song depicts the real situation of the country. It says 'Bhay, bhookh, aatank, mahangayi (inflation) ho aur phi bhi jai ho','' said party spokesperson Siddharth Nath Singh.

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

BJP plans to use the song in its rallies across the country. The party is also slated to unveil another ad song called 'Team Advani' next week. The campaign song will feature all the party chief ministers and central leaders of the party. A little over two minutes long, the film will begin with the famous 'andhera chatega...kamal khilega' speech of Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the early 80s.
