Her father was a government employee in Delhi. According to Sachdeva, the BJP prefers to cooperate with people who want to help others, and Preeta Harit is one of them. “The BJP is proud to work with her as someone experienced in working for the advancement of the nation,” he added.   Harit emphasised her desire to work for the advancement of the country and the welfare of society. “What’s the point of education if you can’t tell the difference between what’s right and wrong?” “I’ve finally gotten on the right track,” she continued.
