Question

The first female Speaker of Lok Sabha is _____________.
(A) Vijay Laxmi Pandit
(B) Sucheta Kripalani
(C) Tarkeshwari Sinha
(D) Meira Kumar

Answer 1

Hint: The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is the reigning officer and the uppermost expert of the Lok Sabha (House of the People), the lower house of the Parliament of India. The speaker is selected usually in the initial assembly of the Lok Sabha ensuing general elections. Operating for a period of 5 years, the speaker is selected from sitting associates of the Lok Sabha (House of the People), and is by agreement an associate of the reigning party or coalition.

Complete answer:
Meira Kumar was born on March 31, 1945, in Arrah district, Bihar of British India (contemporary day Bihar, India) to Jagjivan Ram, a Dalit spearhead and ex-Deputy Prime Minister and Indrani Devi, a protuberant spearhead of the Indian freedom fight. Growing up, Kumar had a close affiliation with her mother, who she spent most of her time with. She deliberated the influence that her mother had on her in a talk with Manoj Tibrewal of the Doordarshan News, calling her the major inspiration from her youth. She is an Indian politician and ex representative. An associate of the Indian National Congress, she was the Minister of Social Justice and Empowerment from 2004 to 2009, the Minister of Water Resources for a transitory phase in 2009, and the 15th Speaker of Lok Sabha from 2009 to 2014. Kumar became just the 2nd female to be chosen for president of India by a chief political union when she held the United Progressive Alliance's submission in 2017.

Thus, option (D) is correct.

Note: In 2009, the United Progressive Alliance was reimbursed to authority after an enhanced presence in the general election and Kumar was, on May 22, 2009, temporarily initiated as an associate of the Centre's cabinet as the Minister for Water Resources. But she was subsequently chosen for the spot of the Speaker of Lok Sabha and she acquiesced her notice 3 days after undertaking ministerial office. Kumar was then selected as the first-ever female speaker of Lok Sabha and continued in office from 2009 to 2014.
