Former IAS officer Divya Mittal is weighing whether to contest the upcoming election from Mirzapur, join forces with veteran politician Raja Bhaiya, or launch her own party.
Former Indian Administrative Service officer Divya Mittal has entered the political arena, signalling her intent to contest the forthcoming elections. Known for her bureaucratic tenure, Mittal is now assessing her electoral prospects in Uttar Pradesh.
One option under consideration is to file her nomination from the Mirzapur constituency, a seat that has traditionally been a focal point of regional politics. Simultaneously, reports suggest she may align with senior leader Raja Bhaiya, whose influence in the area remains significant.
Analysts also note the possibility that Mittal could establish a new political party, positioning herself as an independent force. Such a move would add a fresh dimension to the state's electoral dynamics.
As of now, no formal announcement has been made, and Mittal’s final decision is awaited by party workers and voters alike.
