Bhopal: Former Lok Sabha speaker and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) veteran Sumitra Mahajan, known as Tai in the world of politics, is not interested in any introduction. Tai, who has been an MP for 8 consecutive times from Indore, has never seen defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. Such a brilliant record is not seen in the career of any other female leader.

Born on this day in 1943, Sumitra Mahajan, for the first time in the 1989 Lok Sabha election, defeated Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Prakash Chandra Sethi. After this, she never looked back and touched the heights of the political world. Sumitra Mahajan was also included in the Union Cabinet from 2002 to 2004. She was given the charge of the Ministry of Human Resources, Communications and Petroleum.

The personality of Sumitra Mahajan was such a niche that even the leader of the opposition party was his friend. Tai filed his nomination for Lok Sabha Speaker on 5 June 2014. On 6 June 2014, she was elected unopposed Lok Sabha Speaker. This was the first time that a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had become the Speaker of the Lok Sabha. However, in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, she refused to fill the candidature and was replaced by Shankar Lalwani from BJP, who emerged victorious.
