Rahman unhappy with use of ‘Jai Ho’ in poll campaign

Music maestro AR Rahman, whose compositions in “Slumdog Millionaire” made him the first Indian to win twin Oscars, is critical of

political parties using for a poll campaign the song

“Jai Ho” that he composed for Danny Boyle’s rags-to-riches drama.

“I was like in the bed, I was dehydrated, exhausted, and then all these things happened, somebody told me these people are using it. I hate politics. I just want people to serve the people. I want governments, whichever government comes in, to be unbiased and say there should be justice in the country and that’s my purpose in life,” Rahman said in an interview.
