Parveen Amanullah, a 55-year-old social activist-turned-politician who quit Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumars Janata Dal (United) and government two days ago, joined Aam Aadmi Party. Daughter of retired diplomat-turned-politician Syed Shahabuddin and wife of a senior Bihar-cadre IAS officer who is at present on deputation at the Centre, Ms Amanullah was drafted into politics by Mr Kumars JD(U) after she had built a reputation as an intrepid social worker. The chief minister offered her a ticket on the eve of the 2010 assembly polls. She accepted the challenge and won comfortably from Sahebpur Kamal, defeating a powerful candidate from Lalu Prasads Rashtriya Janata Dal and former minister Shri Narayan Yadav.
