Many people told me to contest from elsewhere, citing the challenges of campaigning in this remote region. However, I remained firm in my decision to contest from here because both my father and I have always held a special place in our hearts for this region. I have been trekking through these terrains since the time when the people of these areas faced grave challenges, with many afraid to even leave their homes. I want you to strengthen my resolve and ensure my victory so that I can represent you in parliament with the same courage, and determination,” she added.
