RUPINDER KAUR RUBY (AAP), 28, BATHINDA RURAL

Low on bank balance and high on academics (she is pursuing PhD in law), Ruby fought a very spirited battle against some formidable opponents and came out a winner. Inspired by her father, a founding member of the AAP, to join the party, Ruby is now determined to raise her voice in the assembly to make sure the government delivers.

SECRET SAUCE

Ruby says she won due to the sheer goodwill of people who saw themselves reflected in her. “I had no money to spend. The locals managed the campaign for me, it’s their victory.”

ROAD AHEAD

Ruby is particularly concerned about education, employment, drugs and sanitation. “A weak education system is our curse. Drugs and unemployment flow from it,” says Ruby, calling the Akali Government’s decision to promote all children till Class VIII a conspiracy.

BY THE WAY

Loves to watch Hollywood movies in her spare time. Favourite actors: Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise.
