"I believe in working for the people. This time I would like to bring everyone onto the platform of development, especially for women's empowerment. I am very keen and focusing upon the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'," MLA said while speaking to ANI.
MLA, Antara Sarkar Deb struggled a lot from the beginning of her political career.
