Diksha’s announcement to participate in the village elections generated rumors that she jumped into the fray on behalf of her father Jitendra Singh, who wanted to participate, but the seat was reserved for female candidates.
However, his family denies it. “It is his independent decision and it is driven by his desire to serve his place of origin,” said the proud father who runs his business in Goa and Rajasthan and believes that empowering women was the first step towards real social change.
On the reason for his decision, Diksha said: “People’s lives have not improved over the years. My hometown is still underdeveloped. Whenever I came here, I felt like the place was stuck somewhere in the 1990s. I intend to work for the people here and change the situation. ”
Diksha, who has studied at the university of political science and is also interested in writing, added that her recent visit to the interiors made her conclude that Jaunpur had not yet received its due.
“Many cannot relate to the situation here. But I have grown up in this place which is like a scene from old classics like ‘Mother India’ and ‘Purab aur Paschim’ where misery and poverty lead the way. Women lead a life restricted and children are forced to give up their dreams, ”said Diksha, who has identified education and women’s empowerment as the key issues to work on.
Although he does not have the support of any party, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was his role model.
Social commentators and experts praised the girl’s movement and called it exemplary. “Covid-19 has changed the way many thought and viewed life. The desire to live and settle in the big cities is being openly questioned by many and some of them want to go back to their roots, “said lawyer and social activist Abha Singh.
