The 21-year-old became actively involved in the work of Balasangam, which is the children’s organization affiliated with the CPI (M) party. She was the president of her state. In college, she became a worker for the Student Federation of India (SFI), the student party of CPI (M). He is now a member of the state SFI committee and a member of the CPI (M) at the Kesavadev Road branch of the party. “The organizational experience and the work for her has been very useful during the electoral campaign. I could meet people and communicate our ideas very clearly, ”Arya had told TNM previously.
He also added that waste management would be the main focus of his neighborhood and the rest of the city.
“Importantly, I also intend to establish a Primary Health Center (APS) in Mudavanmugal. It is important that there is a room-level PHC, especially in the times of COVID-19. Many people resist going to hospitals, especially those with other illnesses and those with children. Therefore, a 24-hour APS, accessible to all, is very important. There will also be programs focused on youth, women and students, “added Arya.
