Maya Ray (9 February 1927 – 11 March 2013) was an Indian politician and lawyer 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

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

She died of kidney failure on 11 March 2013, two and a quarter years after her husband died.[7]
