Tumkur: Rahul promises steps to empower women, unleash Mahila Shakti

From Our Special Correspondent
Daijiworld Media Network - Tumkur

Tumkur, Feb 16: After his series of meetings in his roadshows in Karnataka to vow the impressionable younger generation, especially students, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi sought to woo the women and said the Congress party was committed to empower women.
 
''India cannot become a super power without empowerment of women in all walks of life in the society," he said addressing a massive convention of women at the Mahatma Gandhi Grounds in Tumkur on Sunday, as part of his two-day visit to Karnataka.

''Unless the women of India are empowered, the country can never become a super-power. We want to use your (women’s) strength in the progress of this country," he said receiving thunderous applause from the women.

The Congress Vice President said the doors of the Congress are always open to women.

''We want to open doors for women in all walks of life, especially schools, hospitals and parliament as without women there is no progress," he said.
 
He appealed more women to contest elections to panchayat, the assembly and the parliament.

''Let us empower women and unleash Mahila Shakti for the country’s development," he said.

The Congress party’s newly appointed election campaign chief praised the Stree Shakti movement launched by S M Krishna-led Congress government in Karnataka and said it had become a model for the empowerment of women in the entire country.

The states where women are being empowered are progressing at a faster pace than other states. The Congress was ready to accommodate more women in the party’s organisational structure as well in issuing ticket to contest elections to harness the power of women for the development of the country, he said.

Gandhi said men outnumber women in the party organization and pointed out that more number of men than women seek tickets to contest elections either to the Legislative Assemblies or the Lok Sabha.

''This situation has to change. More and more educated, talented and capable women should play active role in politics," he said declaring that the Congress party wanted to give women an equal chance in politics.

Targeting the BJP and RSS, Gandhi said the opposition do not respect women and their 'ideological organization’ gives no place for them.

Women are being exploited in places of workplace, buses and houses and neglected in the public life, he said asserting that the Congress party is doing its best to improve the lot of women.

On the issue of crime against women, Gandhi said the Congress passed a stringent law against rape. ''Don’t fear when you go to the city in the evenings and in buses. I want your (women) representation in all sectors with safety, freedom and no fear," he said.

Actor-turned politician and Congress MP Ramya said that only Congress Vice-president Rahul Gandhi is able to understand problems faced by women in the society.

The Mandya Congress MP said the UPA government has launched several schemes for empowerment of women across the country. Separate banks (Mahila banks) have been for women in Bangalore and more would be opened in other parts of the State soon, she said.

It was the Congress provided 33 per cent reservation for women in local bodies and now party was keen to provide 50 per cent of seats for women in parliament and State legislative assemblies, she said.

''Men don’t understand women’s problems. But Rahul Gandhi understands women’s problems better than any other leaders of the Opposition parties," she said amidst a huge applause from the crowd.

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said the NDA government regime headed by A B Vajapayee government not launched any scheme for the empowerment of women.

Apart from opposing the Mandal Commission report, which recommended reservation for OBCs, the BJP has been making every attempt to divide the society on communal lines, Siddaramaiah said.

KPCC President Dr G Parameshwar accompanied the Congress Vice President during his two-day visit to the State.

    ITS ALWAYS A CRIME TO DIVIDE INDIA IN ANY FORM WHICH CONG HAS DONE FROM LAST SO MANY YRS, WE WANT EQUALITY TO EVERYBODY. ALL ARE EQUAL IN THE EYES OF GOD AND NOBODY IS BIG OR SMALL, ITS ONLY BELIEF. WE DONT WANT TO DISCRIMINATE US IN TERMS OF CREED, CASTE, SEX, COLOR, GRADE, LANGUAGE OR REGION, TO BE A DEVELOPMENT NATION WE NOT WAS TO DISCRIMINATE OR SHOW DIFFERENCE AMONG MEN AND WOMEN. BOTH ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT TO RUN THIS NATION, STOP THIS WOMEN/MEN EMPOWERMENT. WE KNOW WOMEN ARE EQUALLY SMART TO FIND A GOOD POSITION IN THIS SOCIETY AND WE ALL RESPECT THEM BCOZ THEY HAVE COME UP IN LIFE WITH THEIR OUR POWER AND NOT WITH POLICIES AND SCHEMES. WE RESPECT THEM FOR INDEPENDENT SWABHIMAN THINKING TO BE EQUAL TO MEN AND NOT OVER MEN. DONT USE SENTENCES LIKE "ALL WOMEN ARE WELCOME TO PARTY" ETC.. THERE ARE MANY SECRETS UNKNOWN TO US ABT Amethi Sukanya case WHICH EVERYBODY WANTS TO KNOW, WHERE IS THE FAMILY NOW ETC.. MAY BE OUR YUVRAJ HAS CHANGED A LOT BUT THE GUILT FEELING STILL REMAINS, HE NEVER THINKS BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, NEVER SO CONFIDENT TO FACE CHALLENGES.. HE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING IN THE LAST 5 YRS FOR YOUTH, WHEN HE WAS A YOUTH CONG LEADER. FRIENDS NEVER SUPPORT A PERSON WHO NEVER SPEAKS GOOD ABT HIM AT LEAST ONE EXAMPLE. THINK INIDA THINK.

    Honestly and holding no 'candles' for anybody I come to this conclusion.
    1. Rahul should develop his 'oratory' skills better.
    2.Should employ a better strategic
    team and definitely change his PR
    organisation.
    3.What is this - Just imagine...Going and sitting with 'Coolies' just before a 'Railway Budget'. This will boomerang .Has anything been provided to 'Coolies' in Rly-buget??No!People 'around him' should give him better ideas!This just an example.
    4.His time has not come-He is just not ripe...He has to get the 'hang' of things better.
    5. He has no inkling of the 'sharks' around him-which is also very dangerous.He will be 'swallowed' easily!
    6.For speech writing his trusted colleagues should definitely be in touch with Daiji...soon.
    The sooner Rahul comes to grip with the above points mentioned the better for him politically.

    Honestly, I come to this conclusion :

    It is better you bother about Feku who should do the following :

    Apologise for his role in 2002
    Stop snooping on women
    Stop Fake encounters
    Stop ranting and bashing the Gandhi family
    Accept the truth that he abandoned his wife.
    Don't eliminate witnesses
    Don't destroy evidence
    Don't target Muslims and Christians
    Say 'Indian Nationalist' instead of 'Hindu Nationalist'
    Learn History properly
    Learn Economics properly
    Stop manipulating the media
    Stop.........

    It is quite evident that 'humour in verse' is being used to mask support for the Sangh in my opinion.
    No problem, but why not be open about it and not preach about 'honest assessment' and 'impartiality' to people who have different views or because it does not suit one's likes.
    What one person sees as 'honest and impartial' may not be 'honest and impartial' to others.
    So let people express views in the way they feel fit and be ready for opposing views. This is a free, independent and democratic nation as of now. Lastly, nothing said is meant to be personal.

    There is no need to 'Mask' in case
    one's straight forward.
    The trouble with some is they do
    not across politicians on a regular basis to know what a political mask' is and think the same with everyone else.However, friends there are some who do on a regular basis and find 'no difference' among the lot.The lot is a 'rot' and sadly there's none to stem it.Instead ,some prefer taking sides and what's worst jump into conclusions about others preferences. Talk about yourself,
    hold candles fine but at least
    think that others have a right to honest assessment.
    Your's truly, honestly, has a letter written by late Sri. Rajiv Gandhi(definitely one of his last)
    as one of his cherished possessions. Now what????

    It is understandable if people wish to give themselves any 'Honesty' certificate.
    We will give our 'honest' opinion all the same whether the others want to believe it or not.
    Others can give their 'honest' opinion, but it does not mean we will believe part or any of it.

    What is one trying to prove if one has a letter ? Should I bow before them ?
    Anyway, yours truly also has a letter from Mother Teresa. So now ???

Hitting women , manhandling , disrespecting them (all sangh and bajrangis ) what they do is horrendous. even animals dont do that.LIKE I SAID BEFORE DO THEY EVEN RESPECT THEIR MOTHERS AND SISTERS TO BEAT THEM ALSO BLACK AND BLUE, they dont have any respect towards a woman, all rapists should be shot at sight.great step by Rahul Gandhi. very truly said the women in India must be given more safety, priority ,designation and more opportunities than men. very soon HOPEFULLY. Women need to be encouraged , mahila shakthi is indeed powerful , more than men ,, dont get your egos hurt now men,,,
    the Women need to be respected and treated well . our country is also a Woman (mata) Respect it.

    HAHAHA, Guys just read the last but 8th line in the news about what Ramya said.

    ''Men don’t understand women’s problems. But Rahul Gandhi understands women’s problems...

    So that means Rahul Gandhi...errr I am not saying anything Only Jossey & Ismail may better interpret what dis Ramya mean by that.

    Or perhaps Bhandumaam can help me.

    As Congress supporters what is important for us is that the 'COMMUNAL PARTY' loses.

    Corruption is not a Congress ideology, so if corruption has crept into the party it can also be cleaned out with new and better leaders. In short, it is a repairable problem.
    However, changing a communal mindset is next to impossible as you may have observed. In short, it is not an easily repairable problem. A Communal party will never change its ideology because if they do so, they will lose their voters/supporters.

    Although I am a Congress supporter, I also extend moral support to the AAP because they are anti-Communal. This is critically needed at a time when there is a danger of communal forces coming to power.

    ' Hame Maloom Hain Aurat ko har jagah dabaaya jaata hai...Ghar Main, Bus Main...Har Jagah par-
    Hum ko Yeh maloom hua jab humne
    unke saath kaam karna shuru kiyaa'!! I almost fell of from my seat!
    Rs 500 crore for some Japanese PR firm to work for Rahul?
    Lobaam honestly there are many in M'lore who can do better for a
    much much much lesser sum! Honestly
    contact Daiji! Many write here political speeches for free!

    Today afternoon all Kannada News channels were showing Pappu's rally news in news till 2 PM.

    Exactly at 2 PM our NaMo started speech at Himachal Pradesh. And news about Pappu disappeared ...!

    Tumkur is 50 Kms from Bangalore. Himachal Pradesh is 2500 Km from Bangalore.

    Dinesh, the Tv channels want to improve their TRPs, During Delhi elections, they were with Kejriwal, whatever kejriwal said was true and now the same channel its all drama, and now Modi is selling like hot cake so they sell him, no doubt the same Media will pull him down,I agree even the PM address to the nation is not repeated more than two minutes but Modi speech for 20 minutes, these days Sonia and Rahul products don't sell too much but days are not far the same media will sell them like the hot pizza

    If media is for development then why they endorsed Kejriwal before elections and now the same media calling him as dramebaaz, Kejriwal is against corruption so why not back him now.Winning and losing elections depends on the peoples choice, in that case Siddy uprooted Yeddy in Karnataka

    Dear Jossey
    Seems like Arnab Gosami is giving you sleepless nights after his predictions.

    But I agree with you, Educated , especially women have not voted much until now, that's why congress enjoys power, if they voted this time sure we don't need any prediction, definitely corrupt party will be routed.

    Congress is only surviving due to votes form Poverty sector, un educated sectors and brainwashed sectors, congress wants these sectors to remain so .

    At last agreed that news channels are PAID! Doesn't matter by whom...By the way channels, predicted all five states will be swept by some particular party and in Delhi though jaadu wale were forced to do the drama, basically one party swept all the states...which means one prediction might just went wrong, but still turns out to be 80%!
