In Mizoram, Women Voters Outnumbered Men. But Not A Single Woman Minister | Read
Meet 58-year-old Lalhlimpui, Mizoram's first ever woman minister, since it became a full-fledged state under the 1987 Laldenga ministry. In an interview to NDTV, Ms Lalhlimpui said, "When I took to politics, I was the only woman and till now not too many women have joined active politics. I think it's in the mind of the women here that they are still not ready to be involved much in active politics." During the recent high voltage election season, what completely went unnoticed is that not a single woman candidate won in Mizoram.
