It is great to have so many women in the Lok Sabha this time, says the glamorous actor-turned-politician Moon Moon Sen, a first time
parliamentarian from the
Trinamool Congress.
Clad in an off-white sari with a golden border, the stylish actor who is the daughter of legendary Bengali film star Suchitra Sen, says she has already begun her work as a parliamentarian back in her constituency Bankura.
Sen pulled off a major upset in her poll debut this Lok Sabha election by defeating nine-time MP Basudeb Acharia of the CPI-M in West Bengal’s Bankura Lok Sabha constituency.
She triumphed by 97,511 votes over Acharia, who had been winning from the seat without a break since 1980.
The Lok Sabha this time has the highest tally of women MPs ever at 61.
