00:00In the countdown to the next general election, we've been profiling a series of women politicians

00:08cutting across party lines. And today, that is the Shiv Sena's Member of Parliament from

00:13the Rajya Sabha, Priyanka Chaturvedi. Today, she's one of the most visible and prominent

00:18faces of the Shiv Sena and one of its most articulate voices. But Priyanka Chaturvedi's

00:23journey into politics actually happened by accident. She was in marketing and communication

00:29before the 26-11 terror attacks spurred her to actively join politics and help people.

00:34She was part of the Congress for nine years before she switched sides to the Shiv Sena.

00:39In this conversation with us, Priyanka has talked extensively about what it's like to

00:43be a first-time MP at a time when Parliament has been undermined with a lot of acrimony,

00:49fewer debates and discussions, and fewer bills that are actually scrutinized. She was one

00:53of 12 MPs who were in fact suspended controversially back in 2021 for alleged unruly behavior.

01:00Priyanka talks to us about that and about the future of women in politics.
