About Shweta Singh

Shweta Singh

Shweta Singh is contesting from Bokaro against BJP’s incumbent MLA Biranchi Narayan. As the daughter-in-law of former MLA Samresh Singh, Shweta aims to leverage her family legacy while addressing pressing local concerns such as education and employment opportunities. Her campaign strategy includes grassroots outreach to connect with voters directly and emphasise her commitment to community development. Given Bokaro's status as a major constituency with a high voter turnout, Shweta's performance could significantly influence Congress's overall standing in Jharkhand.
