Lok Sabha Election 2019: After BJD and TMC set the tone, BJP's first list disappoints on women's representation

Firstpost  

This is despite tall claims from BJP Mahila Morcha president Vijaya Rahatkar, who said that of the 12 crore members of the BJP till last year, three crore were women. A party that pretty much started the trend of micro-managing elections, BJP has failed to weave in adequate representation for women in its strategy of fielding candidates on the basis of ‘winnability’. The party revealed 184 names in its first list of candidates for Lok Sabha, but it contains only 22 women, keeping the overall representation of women at less than 12 percent. The move might as well be a strategic political ploy to woo women voters, but Patnaik did declare that he would allot 33 percent of the BJD’s tickets to women, while Mamata’s Trinamool Congress assigned 41 percent of the party’s Lok Sabha tickets to women.
