Rapid Read Kishore Kumar remains one of India's most iconic playback singers. Amid rain-soaked days in the national capital and continuing disruptions in Parliament, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Babul Supriyo struck a lighter note on the Parliament premises by singing legendary singer Kishore Kumar’s iconic monsoon melody ‘Rimjhim Gire Sawan ‘ on his birth anniversary.

Supriyo was seen interacting with BJP MP Jagdambika Pal when he broke into the evergreen Kishore Kumar classic, a fitting choice as Delhi continued to witness monsoon showers. The rendition came as a tribute to the late singer, whose songs remain immensely popular across generations. But the singer-turned-politician also used music to make a subtle political point. Taking a light-hearted dig at the frequent disruptions that have marked the ongoing Monsoon Session of Parliament, Supriyo went on to sing lines from another popular Kishore Kumar song “Aaj Rapat Jaayein Toh Humein Na Uthaiyo… Khud Bhi Rapat Jaiyo…" The lyrics, which refer to slipping and falling, appeared to be a tongue-in-cheek comment on the political wrangling and repeated adjournments witnessed in both Houses in recent days.

The Monsoon Session has seen sharp exchanges between the Treasury and Opposition benches over several issues, with protests and slogan-shouting leading to disruptions and interruptions in parliamentary proceedings. Against this backdrop, Supriyo’s impromptu performance provided a rare moment of levity in the corridors of Parliament. Kishore Kumar, one of India’s most celebrated playback singers, lent his voice to thousands of songs across multiple languages and remains an enduring figure in Indian music.
