Tarapur: A JDU Stronghold With a Kushwaha Voter Base

His political lineage also plays a role; his father, Shakuni Choudhary, held the Tarapur seat for nearly two decades between 1985–1998 and 2000–2010.

Active Digital Presence and Public Reach

Apart from his political engagements, Samrat Choudhary maintains an active presence on X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, using social media as a tool for communication and campaign outreach.
