Former cabinet minister premlata katiyar celebrate 70th birthday in kanpur
Prem Lata Katiyar is an Indian politician and former cabinet minister in Government of Uttar Pradesh. She is the Vice-President of Bharatiya Janata Party Uttar Pradesh unit. She is now an Ex MLA from Kanpur. She is from Kurmi community. Premlata Katiyar has been a minister in governments in Uttar Pradesh headed by Kalyan Singh, Ram Prakash Gupta, Raj Nath Singh and even Kumari Mayawati (when the BSP had a tie-up with the BJP).
Representing Kanpur’s Kalyanpur Assembly seat (under which IIT-Kanpur falls) continuously since 1991, this Kurmi leader has no relative connection with another UP BJP leader Vinay Katiyar. While Vinay Katiyar is known more for his hardline Hindutva, Premlata’s association with the BJP began with the anti-Emergency movement. Her daughter, Neelima Katiyar, is now MLA from Kalyanpur and office-bearer in the state unit of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha.
