Priya Dutt Congress candidate for Mumbai’s North-West constituency on making her debut in the political arena.
'I had a lot to learn as it was my first real acting experience'
You have been nominated to your father Sunil Dutt's seat. How does it feel?
I'm thankful to the Congress party for considering me capable enough to represent this seat. I now have to work hard to prove myself and be true to my father's legacy.
Right now, I am looking at infrastructure development in the area. Especially after the recent Mumbai rains, it is important that the blame-game is not repeated.
Everyone should take personal responsibility and the line of communication between politicians and...
... the people must always remain open. Once the MLAs and corporators are made accessible, it's smooth sailing from there on.
Which amongst your father's projects are you planning to take forward?
My father was working very hard for youth development. For this, I am planning to open counselling centres and develop sports complexes in my area.
What part will your brother play in your political plans?
I think I will need his support 100 per cent. After my father, Sanjay has been a pillar of strength for everybody in the family.
How do you plan to balance your social work with mainstream politics?
Till now, I was working on the grassroot level but now, I have a chance to take it ahead on a far larger scale.
