Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Contest Sarpanch Seat
In a small village in India, a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law are both running for the same important village leader position.
This is unusual because usually, family members don't run against each other.
The village leader position is now open to women from a specific group, which is why both women are running.
The mother-in-law was nominated by her son, who was the previous village leader.
The daughter-in-law is the wife of the previous leader's brother.
People in the village are surprised and watching to see what happens next.
A mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have filed nominations for the Sarpanch post in Ghanashyamdas Nagar.
The seat is reserved for BC women in the current election.
Former Sarpanch Soora Sammayya filed the nomination for his mother, Soora Narsamma.
Soora Ramadevi, Sammayya's elder brother's wife, also submitted her nomination papers.
The political contest within the same family has drawn attention from locals.
