The omnipresent challenge for working women —striking a healthy work-life balance—finds no special resistance in the field of politics in the country. The challenge becomes only greater when elections are around the corner, demanding more hours and efforts from the politicians.
As the poll day nears, the women candidates in the fray are seen going the extra mile to adjust their campaign schedules and accommodate the needs of their families, too.
One such dynamic woman politician is Bhuma Akhila Priya, who is contesting as the TDP candidate from Allagadda in Nandyal district. She is the mother of a two-year-old boy, Veera Nagi Reddy (named after her father, Bhuma Nagi Reddy) and misses spending time with him. Though her son is in the safe hands of a caretaker, Ms. Akhila Priya says that her son is the happiest in her presence.
