Pushpam Priya Choudhary, 33, is making headlines in Bihar. The Plurals party president has declared her as the CM candidate and aims to win the trust of 10 crore people. This season, Bihar is witnessing several young men and women taking the electoral plunge seeking to change the way politics is seen and done in the state. The latest in the list is Mandakini Chaudhary who hails from a small village Sujatpur in Pirokhar panchayat on the border of Madhubani-Sitamarhi.
Mandakini Chaudhary, who holds an MBA degree, declined multiple lucrative job offers. A cozy, air-conditioned office cabin with a handsome salary was not her idea of making it big in life. She decided to settle in her village and bring a change in the lives of the poor. After obtaining graduation degree from Patna Women's College in 2007, Mandakini joined the ICFAI Business School, Kolkata to get a management degree in Finance and Marketing. In 2013, she completed her Executive MBA in Rural Management from IIBM.
