Bihar Verdict-Women

The Bihar verdict is out and amazingly, the next four years seems to be lapped by the ruling party. It’s strange to see the near wipe out of all the other parties including the Congress. The new face reveals the toil and the work put in to improve law and order, concentration on developmental efforts and doing away with the literal and most provocative concept of “casteism”.

The things have wonderfully worked with a lot of promotional efforts targeting the women of Bihar. Women seem to have become more powerful by walking out of the four walls and voting in great strength. Unlike rest of Indian states, the ruling government has given half of the reservation quota to women in local village councils and government posts. The school girls (IX and X Class) are provided with bicycles free of cost as also school uniforms to school going kids.

It’s surprising to see the phenomal growth of women voters in 2010 with more than 50 % (54.85) turning out to vote. The backward and semi-backward towns like Katihar, Kishangunj and Araria have shown nearly 65% turnout of women voters.
