Karnataka Hijab Row: BJP And Its Old Habit Of Pointless Retort; Counters Rahul Gandhi

Snehashish RoyFebruary 5, 20220

Amid the ongoing hijab row in Karnataka, BJP and Congress seem to have been embroiled in a catfight. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked BJP for letting the hijab come in the way of students' education and robbing their futures. Following this, BJP wasted no time to come at Rahul Gandhi and slammed him for "communalising education." Devaluing the significance of the headscarf that Muslim women choose to wear, the ruling party in the state asked Congress to make it mandatory in states ruled by the party. "By communalising education, CONgress co-owner @RahulGandhi has once again proved that he is dangerous to the future of India. If Hijab is very much essential to get educated, why doesn't Rahul Gandhi make it mandatory in States ruled by CONgress?" said the official Twitter h...

Punjab Election: With Bare Representation Of Women, Political Parties Focused On Disparate ‘Change’ In State

Snehashish RoyJanuary 31, 20220

'Breaking the glass ceiling' has been one of the war cries across political parties during elections to attract more women voters. Every leader, representing any party, will be seen remarking in favour of increased women participation in politics. However, looking at the most revered candidates' lists for the Punjab Assembly election, a dearth is seen in the number of women candidates. Despite a high-profile campaign launched by the Congress in Uttar Pradesh surrounding women, the echo does not seem to reach Punjab. In UP, Congress promised to dedicate 40% of its tickets to women. Whereas, only 11 out of 109 seats are given to them in Punjab. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)-Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) alliance announced 117 candidates and only 5 of them are women. The Aam Aadmi ...
