Ms. Soundararajan, in a post on X, said, “Yesterday, for the first time after the 2024 elections, when I met our Hon’ble Home Minister Shri Amit Shah Ji in Andhra Pradesh. He called me to ask about the post-election follow-up and the challenges faced. When I elaborated, he advised me and gave me confidence to take up political and constituency work seriously, with great care, due to lack of time. This is to clear up all unnecessary speculation.
