“We will openly support with volunteers and other resources women contesting elections independently and those seeking our support,” said Avdhash Kaushal, Chairman of Rural Litigation and Entitlement Kendra (RLEK),a Dehradun-based NGO. [more]
NDTV has done another feature on the lack of women candidates in this election season. This is yet another sign that politics are degrading in the state.
