Adding proud to Kerala, a 21-year-old BSc student, Arya Rajendran is all set to become the next Mayor of Thiruvananthapuram. Once she takes charge, she would be the youngest Mayor in the state.
Arya, a CPM candidate, won from Mudavanmugal ward, defeating UDF candidate Sreekala by 2872 votes. She was the youngest candidate in the district. Arya is also the State President of Bala Sangham and a state office bearer of SFI, the student wing of CPM. She's also a CPM branch committee member.
The CPM district secretariat which met here on Friday zeroed in on Arya. The party finalised her name as it was decided that a youngster should be considered for the post. Arya said she has not received any intimation from the party so far regarding the post and added that she will happily accept any responsibility that's given to her. "I am right now functioning as a councillor. But I will take up the responsibilities given to me by the party," she said. Arya added that her main focus will be on addressing women's issues and other developmental activities.
Arya is currently pursuing BSc in Maths at the All Saints College in Thiruvananthapuram. She has been active in politics and is a state committee member of the Students Federation of India. Not only this, she also holds the position of Kerala president of Balasangham, which is CPM’s children wing.
