She has famously claimed that "Bihar deserves better, and better is possible". Pushpam also publicly said that "I have to change Bihar because I do not believe that the people of the world's oldest republic are accursed to merely sing praises of their glorious past. I believe that Bihar too can have a future. What is that future? How can it be achieved? I and [[The Plurals Party]] are the consolidated answer to these questions; we consider every person a goal in oneself, not just a means to attain those goals."<ref name="personal">{{Cite web|title=Who Is Pushpam Priya Choudhary, Who Announced Herself to Be a CM Candidate in Bihar?|url=https://thewire.in/politics/who-is-pushpam-priya-choudhary-who-announced-herself-to-be-a-cm-candidate-in-bihar|access-date=2021-09-03|website=The Wire}}</ref>
