BJP’s women empowerment

It has been years since Women Reservation Act was first drafted and tried to be presented in the Parliament. Thanks to some greedy and selfish parties who tried their best that this bill never becomes an act. The most importnant and prominent parties opposing it are Mulayam Singh’s “Samajwadi Party” and Laloo’s “Rashtriya Janata Dal“. Theese are those people who are just beating round the bush and making unnecessary demands to change the bill only to delay it in each Parliament session.

I can remember some years back Laloo had demanded reservation inside Women Reservation for the backward sections of the society. Are they really serious? Or is it a way to delay it forever. What will happen if women get a third of their seats reserved? These parties who have lots of corrupted leaders may not find any place to satisfy themselves. The scope of robbing the public’s money would greatly diminish. This is the main reason for their opposition. For parties which are really for the bill should implement women empowerment in their own parties and level.

A day back BJP made an announcement in its “National Council” that it would give 33% reservation to women in party posts. No consensus was reached in giving reservations in “Parliamentary Board” which is the highest decision making body in the party. Atleast this is a good move. Now we can expect more women in active politics, and and in coming days they may even find their place into “Parliamentary Board” without even quotas. BJP has really showed its willingness to uplift the women, atleast a willingness is enough at this time when other parties are trying their best to suppress them.

Ms. Sushma Swaraj said:

This council session will go down as a historic one for this reason and it will be mentioned in the history of women’s empowerment in India.

BJP wants to expand it Women’s Wing to bring more women in politics mainstream, till now a very few of them come on their own. Many of them are here in active politics due to family reasons or some or the other tradition. Bringing a women from the grounds is a very tough work at the present scenario in our country.

Now the next work for BJP is to firmly press the Women Reservation Act even though it does not provide quotas for backward classes women. Where is Congress? It alliance has the majority, BJP is ready, then why cant it be passed? Who is creating the hurdles? Why they should suffer due to some mindless politicians?

The move of BJP is highly appreciable. Its like setting a standard or creating a milestone. Others can follow, provided they are really sincere.Hope Leftists dont protest against this bill now after BJP came supporting it. Still we cant say, communists are chameleon colored,nobody knows when they change their stand and start accusing BJP of misguiding the people and claim themselves the real saviors of Women. It is their history and they know pretty well how to repeat it.
