Theresa May, England`s new premier |
New Conservative Party leader Theresa May leaves 10 Downing Street in London on July 12 after attending Prime Minister David Cameron`s last Cabinet meeting. As incoming premier, she will form a new government to deliver Brexit. Theresa May visited India only once in 2012, but has already had much impact on the country and its citizens.The tall, lanky and seemingly shy MP from Maidenhead is known as a tough, no-nonsense home secretary who does not do small talk . Former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg dealt with her often but always came away reinforcing his vision of her as an “ice maiden”! During her maiden India visit, May addressed top officers in the National Police Academy in Hyderabad in November 2012, and mentioned how she incorporated the lessons of the 2008 Mumbai attacks in Britain’s security forces.As prime minister, May is expected to continue Cameron’s focus on India, particularly given that the Brexit camp privileged trade ties with India, China and the Commonwealth after leaving the European Union. Incidentally, May often quietly attends Indian festivals in Maidenhead.May and her husband Philip John May are known to be keen cricket fans.
