Puja Vidhani

Puja Vidhani is the newly elected Mayor of Bilaspur, representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). She previously served as the leader of opposition in the Bilaspur Municipal Corporation and has been involved in local politics since 1998. Vidhani has held significant roles within the BJP, including serving as the state general secretary of the BJP Mahila Morcha and as the state president of the party's women's wing. During her swearing-in ceremony, she made headlines for mistakenly pledging to uphold 'communalism' instead of 'sovereignty', which led to a prompt correction by officials present.
