President Droupadi Murmu nominated author and philanthropist Sudha Murty (73) to the Rajya Sabha on Friday. The announcement of her nomination to the Rajya Sabha was a double surprise as it came on Women`s Day, Sudha Murty said.
"I`m happy, at the same time I feel I have been given more responsibility. I`ll work my level best. On a personal level, I am happy that I`m getting a bigger platform to work for the poor," Sudha Murty told ANI on Friday. Murty clarified that she does not consider herself a politician as she is a nominated Rajya Sabha member.
