"Her teachings, her dedication and her spirit of service are the foundation of my life. Walking the path she showed us is my solemn vow."
— Deepti Kiran Maheshwari, MLA Rajsamand
From Chairperson of the Municipal Council to Minister of Higher Education, Rajasthan — Kiran Maheshwari earned public trust at every post.
Through administrative excellence, transformed Udaipur into Rajasthan's strongest municipal body.
Effective participation in Parliament. Led gauge conversion of Udaipur–Chittorgarh and Udaipur–Ahmedabad rail routes. Built immense public goodwill through constant field engagement.

Won the 2018 Assembly Election with a margin of over 31,000 votes. Remained vocal and active against the ruling government in the Assembly. Maintained constant contact with constituents even during COVID-19, working tirelessly for relief and treatment.
In November 2020, she was deeply engaged in campaigning for the Kota Municipal Corporation elections for BJP. On 25 October 2020, while actively working in Kota, she contracted COVID-19.
Even after being admitted to Gitanjali Hospital, Udaipur, she continued helping other patients — that was her nature. As a result, her condition worsened and she was airlifted to the renowned Medanta Hospital, Gurugram.
In a profound twist of fate, on the sacred occasion of Kartik Purnima, 30 November 2020, she departed from this mortal world and merged with the eternal light. Her journey of service to society and her party until her very last breath remains an everlasting source of inspiration for us all.
