Children run in the narrow streets of Karakul village in Pinhat of Bah, shouting slogans in the name of Rani Pakshalika Singh, who arrived for the campaign late on Saturday. The local people touched his feet for blessings; Women flock to him.
The Queen’s family has lived through the decades. Her husband, Raja Mahendra Arindaman Singh, was a six-time MLA from here, and before that, it was her father-in-law, Maharaja Ripudaman Singh.
BJP MLA Pakshalika is worried this time that stray cattle are destroying farmers’ crops. Cattle can be seen on the roads in Bah, 50 km from Agra.
People feel that BJP has done a great job in law and order and development. One problem that we are facing is a lot of cattle destroying the crop overnight which is still a big problem. BJP government has tried a lot and we are making a lot gaushalas, And I’m trying to increase the numbers so we can get more cattle in these gaushalas They are roaming in the fields instead,” Rani Pakshaalika told News18 in an interview.
Hers is an interesting case study because in 2017 after Raja Mahendra Arindaman Singh, then MLA of the Samajwadi Party, shifted to the BJP, he was chosen by the BJP as its debut candidate.
So why did BJP choose Rani instead of Raja? “I wouldn’t say that there was much to an alternative. He did this for 30 years (as MLA) and was changed face after being in SP for five years. BJP believes that anti-incumbency The wave comes with the candidate and not the party. We all felt that 30 years is a long time and changing the face will help.”
The BJP has two women MLAs out of nine seats in Agra district and this time it has given tickets to three women. “I am happy that the BJP thinks that women are important. Women talk openly to me. Still hesitating to talk to a guy, so this helps me a lot. In my constituency, I have broken the feeling that you can’t talk to me,” Rani Pakshaalika said when asked if her royalty was a barrier to connecting with her people.
“We practically know everyone by name and home, and that helps politically. We are part of royalty. Today India is one, there is no royalty. But at the same time I am also proud of my family’s legacy. I think the media plays up royalty more, which is sad because even if you put in a lot of work, that work holds you back to being a royal,” she said, when referring to the prefixes given to her by people. asked about. ‘Queen of Behar’. Bah constituency is next to Chambal region of Madhya Pradesh.
In Bah, the main challenge to Rani is coming from a former loyalist of the family of BSP candidate Nitin Verma. The BSP had won this seat once in 2007. This seat has Thakur and Brahmin voters who support the royal family.
He said, ‘I don’t take any challenger lightly. In our favor is the fact that historically, we are from here and our relationship with outsiders is not that of legislator and voter, but we are one family and we are all together for generations.
