S Phangnon, a BJP MP from Nagaland, has been nominated to the panel of vice-chairpersons in the Rajya Sabha, the upper chamber of the Indian Parliament. This historic appointment makes her the first woman from Nagaland to hold this post in the legislature.
S Phangnon, who is also the head of the Nagaland BJP Mahila Morcha, has been lauded for her remarkable political accomplishments. Y Patton, the Deputy Chief Minister of Nagaland and a top BJP leader, congratulated her on her accomplishment.
S Phangnon reached a new milestone in 2022 when she became the first woman from Nagaland to be elected to the Rajya Sabha. Her triumph was noteworthy for gender representation in the state, since she is just the second woman from Nagaland to win a seat in either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha.
The nomination of S Phangnon as vice-chairperson underscores the rising significance of women in Indian politics and serves as a model for aspiring female leaders across the country.
