I was pained to see the disparity in my constituency. A hope for inclusivity – given my own identity as a transperson – has emboldened me to test the electoral waters in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh for the first time.
I filed my nomination papers as an independent candidate in Indore 2 assembly constituency in early November. However, my journey has not been smooth.
From the beginning, my political ambitions were not aligned with what the kinnar community wanted.
Despite the hurt it caused me, it was my passion to bring a conducive change. I hope every individual can live a life of dignity.
