Politics
Rakshita announced of joining the Badavara Shramikara Raitara (BSR) Congress in March 2012, after politician B. Sriramulu announced of founding it, which eventually happened in 2013. She held the position of President of the women's wing of the BSR Congress until April 2013. At that time, she left the party due to disagreements with its members regarding her preferred constituency for candidacy in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly election. Subsequently, she joined the Janata Dal (Secular), but disagreements arose again when her request to contest from Mandya in the 2014 general election was overlooked by the party. Consequently, she departed from the Janata Dal (Secular) in March 2014 and became a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Following this, she became subject to media and public ridicule, and was called a "party-hopper", having changed 3 political parties in two years.
