Famous Kumaoni comedian and social media personality Lachu Pahadi has added a new title to his name—public representative. In a striking example of grassroots democracy, Lachu Pahadi has been elected as a Block Development Committee (BDC) member from Bageshwar district in Uttarakhand.
Known for his sharp wit and relatable humor rooted in Uttarakhandi culture, Lachu Pahadi enjoys a strong following on digital platforms. His win is being seen not just as a personal victory, but also as a signal of growing public trust in ordinary citizens with extraordinary commitment to society.
Reacting to his victory, Lachu Pahadi said, “In politics, stature doesn’t matter—what matters is your courage and intent to serve. I am grateful to the people for believing in me. This is not just a new responsibility, it’s a chance to give back to the soil that shaped me.”
He also shared that he will focus on local development issues, including improving basic amenities, promoting regional art and culture, and creating better opportunities for youth in the hills. “I’ve always connected with people through laughter. Now I want to connect through action,” he added.
Locals in Bageshwar have welcomed his election with enthusiasm. Many say that someone like Lachu, who understands the real problems of the region, is better placed to represent them than traditional politicians.
His journey from comedy stages to a democratic seat reflects a growing trend where people from diverse backgrounds are entering politics with fresh energy and local understanding.
Political observers are calling his win symbolic of a silent shift happening in Uttarakhand’s politics, where honesty, accessibility, and grassroots connect are starting to matter more than just political lineage.
