A second year B.Sc Maths student at All Saints College in the city, Arya’s name was officially announced for mayor post by CPI (M) on Sunday, a day before the swearing-in ceremony.

She is a staunch supporter of state chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan and an ardent fan of actor Mohanlal, who also happens to be her neighbor in the city. Arya has assured that she will put in her best for development of the city. Mohanlal even called her up and congratulated on the history scripting victory!

Arya’s parents Rajendran and Sreelatha are supporters of the party for a very long time. Trivandrum, also known as Thiruvananthapuram is the biggest municipal corporations among the six corporations of the state. It has a total of 100 wards.
