Supriya Sule was first elected to the Rajya Sabha in 2006, followed by three consecutive terms in 2009, 2014, 2019 & 2024 as a Member of Parliament in Lok Sabha. As a people’s representative in the Parliament, she is vocal about issues that matter to every common citizen especially the middle class, women, youth, senior citizens, farmers etc.

She is a leader who keeps herself informed and presents the issues of common citizens in the house of Parliament. Her excellent parliamentary performance has been recognised multiple times through National and International Awards.

Sule is well grounded and cherishes every relationship. She prefers simple homely life over glamor. Sule is a people person and enjoys engaging in meaningful conversations. She’s always on the move traveling in her Constituency, Maharashtra and across India to address citizen’s concerns. Apart from her socio-political interests, she’s also very artistic and enjoys visiting art galleries and exhibitions. Since her childhood she has also been very active in sports. Quite earlier in life, she learned from her mentors in the sports world that there are no shortcuts to success and no substitute to hard work.

Supriya Sule is always grateful towards her party workers for working with discipline and determination for the betterment of the society.

As a people’s representative, she is vocal about issues that matter to common citizens, having local, state and national importance. In 2011, she launched a State-wide campaign against female foeticide that involved Padayatra, college events, competitions etc. It was inaugurated at Naigaon-the birthplace of Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule and concluded in Koregaon in Pune. The participation of many young women and men led to large scale awareness regarding rising incidents of female infanticide and a rapidly falling sex ratio in the state of Maharashtra.

Supriya Sule has also been associated with an all-party campaign against malnutrition. In 2012, she launched the Rashtravadi Yuvati Congress to give a platform to young girls in politics and create their network across the state of Maharashtra.
