Maneka Gandhi, Union Cabinet Minister for Women and Child Development, totally won the Internet yesterday during her free-wheeling chat on Facebook. Gandhi called for a 30-minute Q&A session and encouraged people to ask away.

She is one who doesn’t appear for interviews often. But when she held this live public chat on social media she ensured that she answered all the questions in first person and at full throttle. While the Minister responded to a wide range of queries based on healthcare, children’s education, animal rights, violence against women, women empowerment and laws for women, stunning us with her smart rejoinders.

Here’s the Minister in action:
