Ever since singer Lucky Ali’s photo with Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Derek O’Brien surfaced on the internet, there’s been speculation about his entry into Indian politics. Now, the singer has come out to set the record straight. “That was not the case. I am not joining politics. Nobody asks me, and everybody just assumes. I don’t have a spokesperson. I speak for myself,” Ali tells us. He continues, “My work is music based and connection based. It has got nothing to do with political ideology. I want to stay far away from politics. But I like to meet people who, I feel, deserve my respect.”
