Bihar election results 2024: Meet Shambhavi Choudhary, India's youngest MP

PATNA: Twenty-five-year-old LJP (RV) candidate Shambhavi Choudhary scripted history on Tuesday to become the youngest woman member in the Lok Sabha after routing her nearest rival Sunny Hazari of Congress by 1,87, 251 votes in the Samastipur constituency.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi too had hailed her as the “youngest candidate” during his rally in Darbhanga.
Shambhavi is the daughter of Ashok Choudhary, a cabinet minister in the Bihar government and a close ally of CM Nitish Kumar. Her grandfather, late Mahavir Choudhary, was a former Bihar minister from the Congress govt. She did her master's in sociology from the Delhi School of Economics and graduated from the Lady Shri Ram College. She is married to Saayan Kunal, son of former IPS officer and secretary of Mahavir Mandir Trust, Acharya Kishore Kunal.
Meanwhile, Shambhavi’s rival Hazari is the son of a JD(U) minister, Maheshwar Hazari. However, Maheshwar could not campaign in favour of his son due to political differences. Hazari has an engineering degree from NIT Patna and has been the pramukh of the Khanpur block in Samastipur since 2021.
