Maya Ray (9 February 1927 – 11 March 2013) was a lawyer and an Indian politician from West Bengal. She was elected in a by-election to the Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India from Raiganj, West Bengal, in 1972.
Career
[edit | edit source]The by-election was necessitated after her husband Siddhartha Shankar Ray resigned the seat after he became the Chief Minister of West Bengal in 1972.[2][3][4][5][6]
As a lawyer she was once referred to as "a noted barrister and former elected official" by the late Thomas J. Manton, a member of the United States House of Representatives.
Death
[edit | edit source]She died of kidney failure on 11 March 2013, two and a quarter years after her husband died.[7]
