D Raja's daughter among DUSU election candidates

New Delhi: Young and raring to go, Aparajitha Raja looks like any other student of Delhi University who is contesting the September 3 students union polls.

But, unlike others, the young student has a political legacy behind her.

The daughter of CPI leaders D Raja and Annie Raja, who is into her second year of graduation, Aparajitha is vying with 10 other candidates for the post of Delhi University Students Union President.

"I am not into students politics by default," she says when asked if her political background had a role in shaping up her sensibilities.

"To a certain extent yes, the kind of environment I grew up in was all politically charged up. But I developed interest in it over the years, and I am here because I wanted to be here," she told reporters.
