Punjab polls: Sops galore but parties stingy in giving tickets to women

Be it the Congress, whose leaders announced to reserve 40% tickets for women in Uttar Pradesh, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) or the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), all parties have given short shrift to women, naming only a minuscule number of candidates from among them for the 117 assembly constituencies in the state

The list of freebies and sops promised by political parties competing with each other to woo women voters, who constitute almost 48% of the 2.12 crore electorate in Punjab, seems never-ending even before they have formally laid out their election manifestos. But their commitment to women’s empowerment seems to stop short of giving election tickets to them.
