विधानसभा मा देखो लुटैया बैठे हावे : एक छतीसगढी जनगीत
Bhan Sahu is in a village with Jan Chetna Yatra in a Janjgir district of Chhattisgarh where the yatris are singing a Chhattisgarhi song:
विधानसभा मा देखो लुटैया बैठे हावे
संसद भवन मा देखो लुटैया बैठे हावे
मंत्रालय मा भी वही लुटैया बैठे हावे
इकर मन के लूट खसोट ला कतक दिन ला सहत जाबो
चलो चलो गा भैया जागो लड़ाई मा जागो
