Priya, who belongs to Darbhanga but lives in London, announced her candidature for the post of the chief minister of Bihar on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8.
In her social media post, Priya mentioned herself as the president of Plurals and the CM candidate in the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections.
With the tag-line “Plurals has arrived”, Priya appealed to the people of Bihar to join her party if they love their state and hate the politics.
“Love Bihar, Hate Politics? Join The Most Progressive Political Party,” said the post.
On her website, dedicated to Plurals, she challenged “the incompetent and insensitive Politicians of Bihar”.
“Join me to challenge the system. Reject dirty politics,” urged Priya on the website.
Priya is the daughter of former Janata Dal (United) MLC Vinod Choudhary. She has completed her higher education in the UK. The website shows her educational background as a post-graduate in Development Studies from the Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK and Master of Public Administration from London School of Economics & Political Science, UK.
