Divya Gautam, contesting from the Digha constituency in Bihar on a Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist) Liberation ticket, is confident of bringing ‘badlaav’ (change). While on campaign trail, she told ThePrint that unemployment is a major issue for Bihar’s youth and has been the central focus of her campaign. Although Gautam is a maternal cousin of late Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput, she has refrained from using his name for political mileage. ThePrint spoke to her about the Mahagathbandhan’s prospects and the key issues in her constituency.
