Gujarat Assembly polls 2022 | Only 139 women candidates in fray out of total 1,621 contestants, 38 of them from three major parties
The HinduEven as women account for nearly 50% of voters in Gujarat, the number of female candidates contesting the next month's Assembly elections is not very encouraging as only 139 of them are in the fray out of as many as 1,621 contenders for 182 seats. The BJP has given tickets to 18 women candidates as against 12 in 2017, while the Congress has fielded 14 women although that figure was 10 in the last Assembly election. Among other parties, the Aam Aadmi Party which fielded its candidates on all 182 - of whom one candidate withdrew from the race - has given tickets to only six women candidates and three of them are contesting on Scheduled Tribe -reserved seats. The BJP has fielded women candidates from SC-reserved seats of Gandhidham, Rajkot Rural, Asarwa, and Vadodara City, and ST-reserved seats of Nandod and Morva Hadaf. The Congress has given tickets to four women candidates on ST-reserved seats - Dediapada, Morva Hadaf, Mahuva and Garbada and one from SC-reserved Bardoli.
