BJP's youngest corporator pursuing MBA; aims to involve youth in politics

Mumbai's youngest BJP corporator, Kashish Fulwariya, juggles MBA studies with civic duties, aiming to involve youth and improve local governance.

"I am committed to working hard and living up to their trust. - Kashish Fulwariya"

Mumbai, Jan 20

BJP's youngest corporator, Kashish Fulwariya, who was elected in the recent Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls, is currently pursuing an MBA while discharging her responsibilities as a councillor.

She expressed her determination to involve young people in politics and grassroots governance while speaking to IANS. Kashish also thanked the party leadership for placing faith in her.

"First of all, I want to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for giving me this opportunity. I have lived up to expectations, and the people have given me immense love and support," she said.

She said that balancing her studies and public responsibilities is challenging but motivating. "I am currently pursuing an MBA, and people have a lot of expectations from me. I am committed to working hard and living up to their trust," she told IANS.

Outlining her priorities, Fulwariya said she would focus on improving drainage systems and completing stalled civic works in her ward. She credited her parents, who have been active in politics for over two decades, as her guiding force.

"I regularly take advice from them, and they help me a lot," she said.

She also stressed the importance of technology in governance. "My focus will be on grassroots work and helping people use technology to access various government schemes," she added.

Admitting to mixed emotions, she said, "I am a little nervous, but also very excited."

The electoral results from the 28 municipal corporations across Maharashtra, barring Mumbai, showed the BJP emerging as the most successful party across cities, winning clear majorities or finishing as the single largest party in several corporations, while the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena retained control in a few key centres. The Congress, the two factions of the Nationalist Congress Party, AIMIM and local parties managed to win in select pockets, reflecting a mixed but BJP-dominated verdict in urban Maharashtra.

It's inspiring to see a young woman take charge. Hope she truly represents the youth and doesn't just become another voice in the party machinery. Her work on stalled civic projects will be the real test.

Good to see a focus on local issues like drainage. So many politicians make big promises but forget the basics. If she can get the gutters cleaned and projects moving, people will support her regardless of party.

While her ambition is commendable, I have a respectful criticism. Coming from a political family gives her a huge advantage. The real challenge is to make politics accessible to ordinary young people without such backgrounds. Hope she works on that.

Using technology to help people access government schemes is a brilliant and much-needed idea. So much graft happens because the process is opaque. If she can simplify it via an app or portal, it would be a game-changer for her ward.

The article says BJP dominated in urban Maharashtra. Young faces like Kashish are a big reason why. They connect with the aspirations of the new India. All the best to her! Let's see if she delivers.
