Lok Janshakti Party MP Shambhavi Chaudhary
Lok Janshakti Party MP Shambhavi Chaudhary comes from a political family. She said that coming from a political family is a big deal for her, but I think everyone is working for the country. She said, yes, she comes from a family where everything is achieved more easily than others.
But she will have to work hard to win the election, Shambhawi said. She said she worked just as hard as the other candidates, although as a woman she had to work harder. Shambhavi said that it cannot be said that she comes from a political family and everything has been easy for her. It depends on whether voters will elect us.

The BJP MP hails from a princely family of Mysuru. He became a BJP MP for the first time. He said that whether it is Rajdharma or democratic religion, leaders must serve the people. Today, whoever wants to enter politics must look after the people who elected him.
MP Shashikant Senthil
Congress MP Shashikant Senthil is a former IAS member who resigned amid the CAA and NRC protests. There were accusations that he was a politically motivated official who was looking for an opportunity to enter politics whenever he could.
For example, when asked if these things he said were true? Congress MPs in their replies said that today everyone is political. He said it was a big problem that the word politics was coined in this way. We are all political. He said we have to get new people into politics. He said that everyone is born to be a politician. Journalists are political too, but we are talking about electoral politics and new people need to be involved.
