She defeated her nearest rival, Congress’ Varuna Dhaka, by over 6,700 votes.
“I want to dedicate my victory to the people who worked so hard for me. I would like to thank everyone. Now I just have to work for development in my area,” she said after the victory.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party was the first to give a seat to a transgender in the MCD polls.
