As the political scene in Kerala intensifies, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Navya Haridas is preparing to compete against Congress candidate Priyanka Gandhi in the Wayanad polls.
Navya's journey into politics is notable. She previously worked as a software engineer at HSBC Hyderabad but chose to resign from her well-paying job to serve the public.
This decision was motivated by her passion for politics and a vision for development.
Navya currently holds the position of state general secretary of the Mahila Morcha.
Her political career began in earnest in 2015, and she quickly climbed the ranks.
In her first election, she narrowly won a seat in the Kozhikode Corporation by just 129 votes. This victory marked the start of her rise in politics.
She has since become a respected figure known for her commitment to corruption-free governance and grassroots development.
In the 2020 elections, Navya was considered a potential mayoral candidate. She made history by winning a seat in a general category ward, surprising party leaders with a victory margin of 479 votes.
Her dedication to community engagement has made her a prominent voice within the BJP, particularly in a corporation where the party holds only seven seats.
Navya's political journey is deeply rooted in her upbringing. She comes from a Sangh Parivar family, which has influenced her values and beliefs.
She graduated from Mukkam KMCT Engineering College, excelling academically.
She is married to Shobin Shyam, a marine rig auditor who works in Singapore. They have two children, Satvik and Ishana.
As Wayanad prepares for the elections, Navya's experience and determination will play a crucial role in her campaign against Priyanka Gandhi. Her background in engineering, coupled with her political aspirations, positions her as a strong contender in this significant political battle.
