Aruna Kori[1] (born 15 March 1973) is an Indian politician and social Worker. She represents to Bilhaur constituency as MLA by Samajwadi Party. And she is also incumbent for the Independent Minister of Women Welfare and Culture of Government of Uttar Pradesh,[2] in office since 15 March 2012.

Early life and education

A leader of Samajwadi Party,[3] Kori is the first woman to be Uttar Pradesh Minister of Women and Child development. She has been elected first time as a Member of member of legislative assembly from Bilhaur, kanpur.[4] She is the Uttar Pradesh youngest Women Minister.[5]

Political life

[6] Arun Kumari Kori, 39, was the only woman minister in the council of 48 ministers

of Uttar Pradesh. She is being entrusted with the portfolios of women

welfare and culture.

However, there is a confusion regarding her name. She was sworn in as

Aruna Kori, not Arun Kumari Kori, her correct name. "Actually my name was

entered there as Aruna Kumari and even during oath taking ceremony it was

mentioned as Aruna Kumari, which is why I signed and took oath as Aruna

Kumari," says Arun Kumari Kori.

It's not only about her name. Even there is a confusion regarding her age.

While contesting elections in 2007, she declared her age as 35 in her

affidavit to the election commission. While in 2012 she mentioned her age

as 38. Clearing this confusion she said, "My date of birth is 11th March

1973. Somebody wrongly wrote my age as 35 in the affidavit in 2007."

Who is to blame for this? No points for guessing. That's where the

controversy ends as of now. Here starts the fairy tale of Arun Kumari

Kori.

Being a Dalit and a young female face of the Samajwadi Party, she

perfectly fits the bill. Samajwadi Party, undergoing change, decided to

induct her in the ministerial council of young Akhilesh Yadav, the chief

minister of Uttar Pradesh. Akhilesh himself is just 38.

Though she is very young but she could very well be called a veteran in

politics. She fought election a year before Akhilesh fought his first

election. At the age of 26, she was a Samajwadi Party candidate from

Ghatampur in the 1999 Lok Sabha elections. She almost caused an upset

losing election by only 105 votes. She was defeated by Bahujan Samajwadi

Party's heavyweight Pyare Lal Sankhwar. She got 1,56,477 votes. Pyare Lal

Sankhwar got 1,56,582 votes.

To put it in perspective, Akhilesh fought his first election in 2000. He

became an MP when he contested a by-election in Kannauj - a seat vacated

by his father, Mulayam Singh Yadav. He has been the Kannauj MP since. Now

even he has to vacate this seat very soon.

It was a good start to Arun Kumari's political career. Considering she

just graduated in MA (Sociology) in 1996 from Kanpur University and within

three years she was about to win a Lok Sabha seat, couldn't be called a

bad start in any sense. She attributes her entry into politics to her

father-in-law, Buddha Chandra.

"My father-in-law retired as DIG and joined Samajwadi Party. He was made a

MLC and also a minister. He is the one who brought me into politics," says

Arun Kumari.

In 2002, she was given a SP ticket to contest Assembly elections in 2002

from Bhognipur, a reserved seat from Kanpur Dehat. She came out with

flying colours. She defeated her closest rival Nirmala Sankhwar of BSP by

a margin of almost 10 thousand votes.

However, in 2007, she could not hold on to her seat. She was defeated by

Raghunath Prasad of BSP by only 3,096 votes. She got 33,733 votes.

Raghunath Prasad got 36,829 votes. Samajwadi Party also fared badly. They

could win only 80 seats, a complete turnaround of fortune. In 2002 they

had won 143 seats.

Come 2012, Arun did what she was supposed to do. Riding an anti-Mayawati

wave, she won from Bilhaur, a reserved seat (SC) from Kanpur Dehat, by a

handsome margin. She got 87,804 votes. Her nearest rival Kamlesh Chandra

Diwakar of BSP got 71,747 votes.

Being only a second time MLA, she was not expected to be a minister this

time. But her selection was done more in order to appease communities and

caste equations than in keeping with Akhilesh's youth image, it seems.

She knows that a lot is expected of her. "I am feeling very good. Being

the only woman minister, I will try to raise issues regarding women," she

said.

She is one of those politicians who have no criminal record against her.

She has assets worth Rs 59 lakhs (as declared in her affidavit), a sum

considered modest these days for a politician.
