Anupriya Patel is a young politician from Uttar Pradesh who represents Mirzapur in Lok Sabha. She is considered a strong pro Modi voice among OBC in UP and that might be the reason why she was awarded with a ministerial berth in the first Modi cabinet against the wishes of Apna Dal. However, she was not inducted into the new cabinet of Modi. She is a
Kurmi by caste and considered to be quite popular among kurmis of Eastern
UP. Unfortunately, her brother and sister (Pallavi Patel) are quite
jealous of her rising popularity and somehow convinced Krishna Patel, their
mother and party president, to expel Anupriya from the party.
Profile of Anupriya Patel
Anupriya was
born on April 28, 1981 in Kanpur. Her father Sone Lal Patel was a well-known
politician of UP. He was also quite close to Kanshi Ram and worked immensely in
the establishment of the BSP. However, he developed some differences with
Mayawati in 1995 and left BSP to form his own caste based party, Apna Dal.
Anupriya was quite close to her dad and she was learning arts politics. She was
also a brilliant student and has done extremely well throughout. She has studied
from the prestigious Lady Shri Ram College, Delhi University, Amity University
and Kanpur University.
The Controversy of Tweet
There is also a controversy about a Tweet that was supposedly done from the handle of Anupriya. The tweet is now deleted, but screen shot is available. If this was the work of Anupriya, then one can say that she is still a novice in the Indian politics.
However, it should be remembered that any women in Modi ministry has been attacked unjustifiably by opponents. Be it Smriti Iran or Sushma Swaraj, all of them were made ridiculed despite applauding performances. Anupriya may soon become the victim. But, as they say, there is nothing as wrong publicity in Politics. If she will become controversial, it will only help her political career.
Husband of Anupriya Patel
Anupriya is
married to Ashish Kumar Singh (a.k.a. Ashish Patel). They got married in 2009.
Just 12 days of her marriage, Anupriya lost her father and she took charge of
the party from that time.
