HIS LIFE:
Ram Charan Shukla has been setting up a tea stall for the last 20 years in the main market of Rewa. After filing his nomination for the post of mayor, he started public relations. Ramcharan Shukla says that he is entering the fray by making the basic problems of the city his election issue. He is also getting a lot of support from the general public.
Ramcharan considers Prime Minister Narendra Modi as his ideal. It was only after he became the PM that Ram Charan Shukla had also kept in mind the desire to try his feet in politics. The mayoral election has given him this opportunity as well. Ram Charan Shukla says that if a chaiwala can run the country by becoming the Prime Minister of the country, why can't I run the Rewa Municipal Corporation.
SOCIAL WORKS:
He has also been doing social work for almost 35 years and is directly related to the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. But he is contesting the election as an independent. Notably, the BJP has occupied the post of mayor in Rewa Municipal Corporation ever since the direct system elections started.
