Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Can they be trusted ?


Can  they  be  trusted  ?

It would be worth reading the Poll Manifestos of different political parties to find out what each promises in the matter of Women's Representation Bill , which is pending before the Lok Sabha for over 40 years

May be, all of them promise that , if voted to power , they will expedite the passage of this bill , which guarantees to women of India , 30 % representation in the Lok Sabha

I urge the Women Voters ,

When any candidate of any party turns up at your door , asking for your vote , first ask him / her :

   "  Will your party publicly declare that it will fight for 30 % seats to be reserved for Women  ?  "

If he says ,  " Yes , of course " , then ask

>  for a copy of its manifesto

>  an explanation for the following :

Party      / No of Candidates Announced   /  Women Candidates  /  % 

>    Congress   /   417   /   53   /  12.7  %
>    BJP           /   409   /   35   /   8.5  %
>    AAP          /    385  /   57    /   15   %

Next  tell him / her  :

"  Get lost  /  We don't trust  you  /  We won't vote for  you  !  "
