The huge crowd, mostly women, was trying to engage with one of the youngest candidates in this Lok Sabha election.
A third-generation politician and daughter of Ashok Choudhary, Bihar's rural works minister, Shambhavi is contesting from the Samastipur reserved constituency on a ticket of Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas).
"Dynastic politics sees it as natural for somebody to do something that their parents have been doing.
It's a very natural thing that you usually grow up in that environment and start aspiring for this thing. Not just in politics, you would see the same thing in the case of children of doctors, engineers or businessmen,” said Shambhavi while talking to Business Standard in Samastipur.
She added that the talk of nepotism in Bollywood and politics is because we are in public life.
"And, people have the right to pass judgments on us. So that's why this gets highlighted. I am a well-educated person who deserves to be in politics.
We are looking forward to such people as a woman who's educated, who comes from a political family, who is a Dalit, and who is from Bihar," she added.
