In fact, I am proud to be associated with the Congress.
The odds are stacked heavily against women in politics. They are up against strong, entrenched and largely patriarchal lobbies in political parties.
It becomes difficult for a woman to become part of a lobby without eyebrows being raised. Even if she has proved herself with sheer stint of hard work, it will still be difficult for her to be accepted.
I have a U.P. connection as my mother had graduated from the Aligarh Muslim University.
Frankly, I wasn't comfortable with the idea of showing my private life to the public.
Doesn't everybody love movies like 'Lion King?'
The Congress has provided people with MNREGA, Right to Information, food security, voting right to youths attaining the age of 18 years, land acquisition and rehabilitation act, and development-oriented programs like Jan Lokpal against corruption. That is why only Congress can provide a better government for the country's development.
It is not only in Meerut but entire U.P. where caste equation has phenomenal influence on politics.
It might be perception of a few people, but I strongly believe that there is no shortcoming in Bihar's law and order in Nitish regime.
