Sofia Firdous: Meet Odisha's First Muslim Woman MLA; Check Age, Salary & More
Sofia Firdous, a 32-year-old Congress member, has made history as the first Muslim woman elected as an MLA in Odisha. She won the Barabati-Cuttack seat, defeating BJP candidate and renowned gynecologist Dr. Purna Chandra Mahapatra, 69, by a margin of 8,001 votes. Although 141 women have served as MLAs in Odisha since 1937, no Muslim woman had ever won an assembly seat until Sofia, daughter of former Barabati-Cuttack MLA Mohammed Moquim, broke this barrier.
