Diksha Singh has decided to contest the district panchayat election from Ward No. 26 of Baksha Development Block of Uttar Pradesh's Jaunpur district. The reason behind Diksha's entry into politics is the district panchayat seat that her father was preparing to contest on, but has now been reserved for women.
