Transgender challenges Modi, Kejriwal in Varanasi

“I am a ‘kinner', so I have no family. In the last 60-odd years after Independence, either a man or a woman has ruled the country and generated scams after scams.  

“If people support me, the third gender in this battle, then they will get a dynasty-free leader and set a new precedent for the betterment of the country,” Kamla said. 

The new candidate, who is the head of all the transgenders in Poorvanchal area, said her community always offered blessings to people on happy occasions and now it was the time for the people to reciprocate with their votes.  

Kamla's election organiser Vikram Bhardwaj told PTI that by April 10, about 20,000 transgender from different parts of India will be gathering in Varanasi in support of Kamla.
