Ludhiana: Even the mainstream political party has promised a permanent monthly grant, LPG cylinders and other facilities for female voters in an effort to lure them in front of the poll, very few women in Ludhiana who succeeded with the list of candidates for the upcoming punjab election .
As always, men have escaped from most tickets.
Of the 14 constituencies falling in the Ludhiana district, the AAM AADMI Party (AAP) has reduced two female candidates, while each one fights with a SAD party ticket and Lok Insaaf.
A total of 13 women’s candidates are in Medan, but as independent or belonging to small parties.
Importantly, the two biggest parties in India – Congress and BJP – have provided tickets to prospective women in this district.
In the latest assembly selection, the parties have provided only three tickets to women while some in the race as independent.
There were 26.5 lakh voters in the district, where 12.35 lakh was a female voter.
The representation of women in politics in the city is largely limited to the selection of MC because the ward is maintained specifically for women.
AAP has repeated the nomination of Saravjit Kaur Manuke from Jagraon, who has won a chair with a good margin in 2017.
Other AAP tickets have gone to Rajinder Pal Kaur from the South Ludhiana constituency.
Shiromani Akali Dal has lowered Kaur Jasdeep from Khanna, while the Lok Insaaf party has advanced with Tejinder Kaur from Jagraon.
In the 2017 Election Assembly, Congress had provided a ticket to the Satwinder Bitti from Sahnewal, but he had lost seating.
Sad and AAP had lowered Amarjit Kaur Sahoke and Sarvjit Kaur Manuce, from Jagraon’s constituency.
Other women are mostly contested as independent.
BJP District President Pushpinder Singhal said, “We have obtained the maximum number of female council members in the MC.
For assembly elections too, we want to give a ticket to a candidate for women, but somehow it doesn’t work.” Ashwani District Congress President Sharma said, “it exists In the hands of the High Command Party to provide opportunities for party workers, but that does not mean Congress does not provide opportunities for women workers as our party head Sonia Gandhi is a woman.
” He said it wasn’t about men or women, the only problem was a factor of torrent from certain seats.
The Kaur women’s voter satinder from Haibowal said, “If the party does not provide an opportunity for women, the problem of female voters will not achieve assembly or government.
More women must be given the opportunity to compete and win the election.
And the women must be given the opportunity for her husband, father or his brother does not have a dense position on any party.
“Rashi Aggarwal Congress Board member, who has been searching for tickets from the North Ludhiana constituency, said,” Slogans like ‘Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao’ or women’s empowerment is not useful because of the actual woman Not given the opportunity by the parties.
” He said political parties provided tickets to women in the MC selection just because the ward continued to be provided for them, but they worked as rubber stamps and male members from home handling everything.
