Bypoll today: Women have a say in Sandur, Channapatna

New Indian Express  

BENGALURU: Women voters will play a crucial role in deciding the fate of the candidates in two of the three Assembly constituencies in the state, where byelections will be held on Wednesday. According to data from the State Election Commission’s office, Channapatna constituency has 1.20 lakh women voters as against 1.12 lakh men. Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, who is in-charge of Ramanagara district, expressed confidence that the Congress government’s Gruhalakshmi, Shakti, Annabhagya and Gruha Jyothi schemes have helped women manage their finances well. Guarantees will not save Congress: BJP “Women voters accepted our schemes and are in our favour,’’ Ramalinga Reddy said. “At many places, women are not getting Gruhalakshmi money, and men are unhappy that they have been left out of most of the guarantee schemes,’’ N Ravikumar, senior BJP leader and MLC, said.
