Meet These Women MPs You Probably Didn’t Know About

These women have been freshly elected to the Lok Sabha and there is so much to learn about them.

With the national level tussle between Narendra Modi and Rahul Gandhi, not much coverage remained for women. Certainly, there were many cases where women like Smriti Irani, Atishi, Hema Malini or Sadhvi Pragya made national news. But did you know that many of our new women MPs are simultaneously a poet, a doctor, a physical education trainer or an activist?

We spotted an eye opening twitter thread that talks of these women across parties who have made it to the Lok Sabha. We hope that their upcoming tenure of 5 years promises more power to women throughout the nation. Here are few of these inspirational female representatives, some of whom would be sitting in office for the first time.

Hello twitterverse. Let's look at the women who have been elected to the 17th Lok Sabha, shall we?

h/t to @priyaramani and @kumariika whose tweets inspired this thread.
