When you talk about fathers and daughters doing great job in politics, the first name that comes to my mind is Kavitha the MP from Nizamabad and K Chandrasekhar Rao the CM of Telangana.
Kavitha did her father proud and has become one of the best lady MPs and politicians in the country. Her organisation Jagruthi has been in the fore front doing a great job for propagating and preserving the culture of India. She has also been offered a central post in NDA Government, but it has to be seen if her father KCR would approve this in the near future.
Kanimozhi is the daughter of Karunanidhi the old guard of DMK. She was in scams earlier and also went to jail. But she is on bail and a true follower of her father. She is the daughter of third wife of Karunanidhi, Rajathi Ammal .
But people say she is equally close to her father like her brothers from the first wife. But we do not know if she would inherit the political power from Karunanidhi. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi is a politician, poet and journalist. She is a Member of Parliament, representing Tamil Nadu in the Rajya Sabha. Kanimozhi is the daughter of the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu Karunanidhi.
Sharmistha Mukherjee, daughter of President Pranab Mukherjee, has enrolled as a primary member of the party and lost the elections in the assembly elections in Delhi.
Even though she is the daughter of President she is not that popular in Delhi. Her father never pushed her or encouraged her. She was seen at a candlelight march organised to protest power outages in Delhi. She was present at a Congress gherao of Parliament earlier .
“She’s an energetic young lady and understands the nitty-gritty of politics since she comes from a political family. We will be happy to use her in the future elections said one of the top congress leaders.
An alumna of St Stephen’s College, Sharmistha is a trained Kathak dancer. Her brother Abhijit is a Lok Sabha member from Jangipur in West Bengal.
Ivanka Trump another daughter who is powerful is encouraged by her father US President Trump. Ivanka not related to politics directly, is more or less like a No 2 person in America. You can call her the first lady of America. Trump is not controlled by his wife, but his daughter instead. People say Ivanka is the key for Trump and his policies. They are very close to each other. Ivanka can easily influence Trump in every aspect.
Lets hope all the daughters will make the fathers proud in the near future.
