Parveen will be testing the political waters as a nominee of Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United). The social worker has been fielded as a JD (U) candidate from Sahebpur Kamal Assembly seat in Begusarai district.
However, Parveen’s decision to contest the Assembly polls as a representative of the ruling party, which she had derided all through the last five years, has caught many unawares.
What is puzzling more is the fact that Parveen is the wife of one of the most powerful bureaucrat in Bihar. Her husband Afzal Amanullah is at present the Cabinet Secretary in the state. Even when Afzal was the Home Commissioner of Bihar, Parveen used to highlight cases of police atrocities using RTI, thereby putting Nitish Kumar’s government in an embarrassing situation.
