    The 42-year-old Lok Sabha member belonging to Congress from Bihar's Supaul, wearing a blue attire with helmet and sunglasses, rode around the Parliament complex before entering the House to take part in day's proceedings.

    A mother of two, Ranjeet said she does not allow even her husband Pappu Yadav, also a Lok Sabha member from Bihar, to touch the bike, which she had purchased from her own earnings. However, he does get a chance to sit pillion as she rides the American beast. 

    The bike in the picture is a Harley-Davidson Street Bob 1600 cc and with a price of Rs 10.64 lakhs.

    Ranjeet said she can come to Parliament on motorcycle and cycle daily. "My life has been such that my parents have never objected to whatever I have done so far," she said.

    She later also participated in the discussion on International Women's Day in Lok Sabha.
