· India · India Today
Former IAS officer Divya Mittal announced that her political party, JanNiti Bharat, will contest all 403 constituencies in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections where strong candidates are found. Making the announcement in Chunar, Mirzapur, Mittal urged local residents to support her party's nominee in the region. The decision follows her resignation from the Indian Administrative Service roughly a month prior to launching her political campaign. Before addressing the public, Mittal visited Guhrj Nishad Park in Chunar and garlanded the statue of Nishadraj. She stated that her political entry seeks to establish direct people-centric governance rather than engage in standard electoral politics.
