The MP Ranjeet Ranjan created a flutter in the dignified Parliament in New Delhi by driving on her bike. It was actually a rare sight, and Mrs. Ranjan did it to make a statement on the International Women’s Day.
A brief description of the scenario
As Mrs. Ranjan rode around the Parliament complex, she was seen wearing blue attire with helmet and sunglasses. She rode around the complex just before entering the Parliament House. Later, she took part in the day’s proceedings.
Who is Ranjeet Ranjan?

The sole owner of bike
Mrs. Ranjan said that she had purchased the bike, Harley Davidson from her own earnings. And, she even does not allow her husband to touch her bike! However, she further added that he does get a chance to sit pillion as she rides the American monster.
A word on women empowerment
Speaking on women empowerment, Mrs. Ranjan said that she believes that reservation in Lok Sabha isn’t the solution; rather it’s a part of a larger effort needed to empower women.
She further said that while granting reservation, it should be kept in mind that kith and kin of women MPs don’t enter local bodies or Parliament. Moreover, its benefit should go to only those women who actually need reservation for upliftment.
An independent woman
Mrs. Ranjan stated that she is an independent woman, who has got all the rights to do each and every thing in life. ‘My life has been such that my parents have never objected to whatever I have done so far’, she said.
