Bangalore, Mar 6: The second round of BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s ''Chai Pe Charcha" (discussion over tea) will be on the International Women’s Day on March 6 in 110 centres in 29 places across Karnataka between 4 pm to 6.30 pm.
State BJP Joint spokespersons Malavika and Aparna Patwardhan told reporters on Thursday that half of the 110 centres are located in rural areas.
While the direct discussion with Modi would be conducted in two centres in Karnataka, the same would be telecast live across all the centres, they said.
Malavika said the jurisdictional Mahila Morchas have already identified the locations for the discussion and about 200 women are expected to participate in each centre.
The discussion revolves around three issues ''share, question and suggest."
While the women can share the problems they face locally, they can ask questions to Modi on his views about women empowerment and give suggestions about safety of women, she said.
She said the state government has utterly failed to assure women’s safety and it is evident in the failure of the police to nab the accused in the ATM attack case despite having the pictures of the accused.
Without any legwork, including recruitment of sufficient women police personnel, the government has permitted extension of night life, she regretted.
