Meet Tripura MLA who still travels by autorickshaw in her constituency

Antara Sarkar Deb, a newly elected BJP MLA from Tripura, is winning hearts for using an autorickshaw to travel to her constituency as well as for personal use.

The MLA, from the Kamalasagar constituency under Sepahijala district, says that she is committed to resolving the long-pending issues of her constituency and would stick to this simple lifestyle.

"I believe in working for the people. This time I would like to bring everyone onto the platform of development, especially for women's empowerment. I am very keen and focusing upon the mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'," MLA said while speaking to ANI.

Lakhyee Naha said that MLA Deb is very caring. "Whenever she comes to this side, she commutes in my auto only," Naha said.
