She has temporarily left her job as a maid, where she earned Rs 4,000 per month, to dedicate herself to her election campaign.

In an interview, Majhi outlined critical local concerns, including inadequate health and education services, insufficient drinking water, and women’s safety issues, directly challenging the Trinamool Congress (TMC) administration’s welfare efforts. She criticised the systemic neglect prevalent in tribal and forest regions.

"I will shoulder the responsibility given to me by the PM and other officials. Health and education systems in Aushgram are very poor. There are no good schools. If there are schools, there are no teachers. If the poor fall ill, they have to go to the District Hospital. State Govt has not done anything for the tribals," Majhi stated.

She further addressed the scarcity of drinking water and safety problems facing women in forest areas, noting that multiple incidents affecting women had not been openly discussed. Majhi characterised the TMC as a "gang of thieves," citing corruption involving coal, sand, and cattle smuggling, and claimed housing benefits are allocated only to those loyal to the party leadership.

"If we win the elections, we will be able to eat for the next five years. Trinamool means a gang of thieves — coal thieves, cow thieves, sand thieves — they eat everything. Trinamool means corruption. Those who stay with Trinamool and lick their boots will get houses, but common people will not get houses," she added.

Majhi also raised doubts over the sustainability of government schemes such as Lakshmi Bhandar, emphasising the urgent need for employment and development in the area. She is competing against TMC candidate Abedanand Thandar, who won the seat in 2021.

"I am handling all household work while campaigning, and I have been able to do this because my family has supported me. The money given under Lakshmi Bhandar and allowances is from our own tax money — how long will this continue? Prices of goods have increased, electricity bills have gone up, and there is no employment. Poor people need jobs," Majhi said.

The West Bengal Assembly elections are scheduled to be held in two phases, on April 23 and April 29, with vote counting for both phases planned for May 4.
