Samajwadi Party
at a very crucial time had presented a new media face to the world. The new and
fresh face was not that of a known political personality, but an unknown but suave
young girl named Pankhuri Pathak. Even old Samajwadi Party supporters were surprised to see this move. However, initial confusion went away as Ms. Pathak
had presented the view of her party on various national channels in a very
cohesive and eloquent way. In no time, she had become a well-known face among
voters of Uttar Pradesh.
Just After the Assembly election and shocking debacle of Akhilesh Yadav, Pankhuri decided to say good bye to the party. She has joined Congress, for reason yet to be known.

Profile of Pankhuri Pathak
Pankhuri Pathak was born in 1992 in
Delhi. Both of her parents J. C. Pathak and Arti Pathak are practicing doctors
and run a private hospital in Delhi. The family is basically from Almora and
later shifted to Delhi.
Pankhuri has completed
all of her education from Delhi. After completing her schooling, she took
admission in Hans Raj College for graduation. Here she had won the election for
Joint Secretary of the College. She was also trying to make an entry into the DUSU
election, but Samajwadi Party lacks caliber to fight there. She got associated
with Samajwadi Party during her first year at Hans Raj College.
Pankhuri kept on working
for the party during her DU days. After graduating from Hans Raj College in 2013,
she took admission in Faculty of Law, Delhi University. During this phase, she
became a powerful face of Samajwadi Chhatra Sabha.
During a meeting with
Dimple Yadav in 2012, she articulated the way SP can lure young bloods.
Impressed with her straight and useful thoughts, Dimple convinced Akhilesh
Yadav to induct her into Lohia Vahini where she was made National Secretary. At
a very tender age, she was also given responsibility in the state unit of Delhi
Samajwadi Party.
In 2016, Akhilesh Yadav
selected her as one of the national spokepersons of the party. And, in this
position, she has impressed everyone in the way she responded to critic on some
tough subjects, like Dadri lynching and Bulandshahr Gang Rape Case.
Pankhuri Pathak has one
younger brother, named Chirag Pathak. He is currently studying in DU.
It is no small feat what
Pankhuri has achieved at such a small age. It must be noted that she doesn’t
belong to a political family and her gradual elevation in Samajwadi Party is
all because of her hard work. In this context, her entry into the Congress is little bit shocking and perturbing. She is not getting same media attention in Congress. The party has virtually boycotted prime time debate shows, which means that she is no longer being seen on the TV. Her presence is only worth noticing on Twitter where she continues to keep posting sarcastic materials against Narendra Modi.
Husbnad of Pankhuri Pathak
Pankhuri Pathank is married to Anil Yadav, a well - known young Samajwadi Party leader. Needless to say, she had come into touch with Anil Yadav during her stint with Samajwadi Party. Anil Yadav is also an eloquent leader. It may be noted that Pankhuri and Anil had gotten into illicit relationship. The first wife of Anil has shared a sordid story about relationship between Anil and Pankhuri.
