Indians are showing their prowess in various fields. Many big MNCs have Indian-origin people holding big positions like CEOs. Rishi Sunak was recently elected as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and another Indian-origin person created history by getting elected to a big position.
Aruna Miller was elected as the Lieutenant Governor of Maryland. She becomes the first person from the Indian-American community to take up the position. Maryland stays very close to the United States Capital.
In the tough fight, Miller emerged victorious with big names like United States President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris campaigning for her. The Lieutenant Governor is a big position in the state after the Governo and in the absence of Governor Miller will assume the position if needed.
Despite facing a tough fight from the opponent she also had to fight the conspiracy and narrative that she gathered support from the Right-wing people. Aruna Miller strongly countered the narrative and said that the narrative is nothing but a conspiracy.
“Maryland, tonight you showed the nation what a small but mighty state can do when democracy is on the ballot. You chose unity over division, expanding rights over restricting rights, and hope over fear. You chose Wes Moore and me to be your next Governor and Lieutenant Governor,” Aruna Miller said after winning the election.
Aruna Miller was born in Andhra Pradesh’s Krishna District in the combined state. But in 1972 she and her parents moved to the United States and started living there.
Aruna Miller cemented her place as a good leader in the Indian-American community and the support helped her in winning the polls. In her winning speech, she said that she has been working for the nation ever since she moved there and she will not stop doing that.
