When asked whether she would withdraw her nomination this time too, she replied that she had not filed her papers to withdraw from the fray.

It is noteworthy that Ram Shankar Katheria is contesting from the Etawah Lok Sabha seat for the third time as a BJP candidate. He has also been a Union minister in the Modi government.
