Will Pawan Give 33% Seats To Women?

Will Pawan Give 33% Seats To Women?

It is easy to make promises, but is difficult to implement them. Every political party in the country talks about one-third reservations to women in the elected bodies, including the state assembly and Parliament, but no party has the sincerity to get the bill passed.

The women’s quota bill has been hanging fire in Lok Sabha for years. Even Congress president Rahul Gandhi showed lip sympathy to women on Tuesday, when a media person asked him about whether his party would be able to bring in the bill at least next year, when it is hoping to come to power.

Now, on Tuesday, Jana Sena Party chief and actor Pawan Kalyan, too, made the same old promise of providing 33 per cent political reservations to women.

He released his vision document as a precursor to the final election manifesto, after conducting special prayers to the Goddess Mavullamma. He presented a copy of the vision document to the goddess.

He said he would strive to bring 33 per cent reservation for women in all the legislative bodies.

He also promised to ensure supply of cooking gas free of cost to women.

An amount of RS 2,500 to Rs 3,000 in cash would be deposited in the accounts of women instead of supplying them ration, he said.

Now, there is nothing new in what Pawan has promised. If he wants to prove himself to be sincere and different from other political leaders who make empty promises, he should first implement this quota in his party.

He should give 33 per cent of the party tickets to women in the next assembly elections.

He cannot take the lame excuse shown by all the other parties that he would implement the same if he gets sufficient number of women candidates. Only if he gives one-third of his party tickets to women, people might believe him.

What is more, Pawan also said he would increase the reservations for backward classes by five percent if possible.

The Kapu community would be provided with reservations by placing them in the 9th schedule. There is nothing new even in this, as it is already under put into action by the Telugu Desam Party government.

Only thing is that the Centre has to take a decision to include the same in the ninth schedule.
