Denied ticket, aspirant tears clothes, breaks down
AMID the cacophony of the Bihar assembly polls, the state’s highly educated women are entering the electoral fray with a resolve to disseminate their messages among people ‘loud and clear’ and win their seats.
Though these new entrants come from political background, they are not banking on caste arithmetic rather they want to ensure their victory in election by promising development, better education and health facilities.
For example, Shivani Shukla, 28, a postgraduate in law from the UK, is making her debut in poll politics from Lalganj constituency in Vaishali district. Daughter of jailed former MLA Vijay Kumar Shukla alias Munna Shukla, Shivani has been fielded by Lalu Prasad’s RJD.
