Details:
When young, Saroj
Pandey was also looking forward for a settled life with her husband and
children. However, the idea of getting married cooled down once she became the
mayor of Durg. This seat was reserved for women in 1999 and the BJP asked Saroj
Pandey to become a candidate. She had already earned some name as a fighting
student leader in the Bhilai Women’s College. She became a mayor and started to
work on the field. Here, she realized that her life is for the people of the
country. Why not give entire time to the people rather than dividing it with
the family? She decided to not get married. Her parents were stunned, and it was
really tough for her to make them believe in her determination for public
service. She is still following that oath. Yes, Saroj Pandey is still single
and will remain the same for life.

Facts and News:
Saroj Pandey was once embroiled in a very sad controversy. An MMS had
gone viral over the Internet where Saroj was seen taking bath. She was naked.
Congress had alleged that the video was shot and uploaded on the Internet by
some BJP guys. BJP remained silent. Saroj was in deep pain. The authenticity of
video is still doubted and many believe that a look-a-like of Saroj was used to
defame her. Fortunately, the video is no more available on the Internet. It
also shows how tough the life of a woman in India when she comes in the public
life without the support of any male member of her immediate family.
