(Deepshikha Gautam, Intern Journalist) Patna: Due to the efforts of the Election Commission, pleasant pictures have emerged in most districts of the state.
The number of new women voters has increased. Some 30 thousand and more than 40 thousand new women voters have been formed in the districts, whose attitude will show the impact on the election results.
It is interesting that this increase in the number has been reflected in the last one year and the increase has also crossed 40 thousand in some districts. In Samastipur itself, a 48 thousand increase was recorded. These new women voters from various districts including Muzaffarpur, P. Champaran, East Champaran, Vaishali, Sitamarhi, Darbhanga will change the appearance of elections with a significant role. There is a relatively higher number of women in urban areas. Parties that give fewer seats to women may have to bear the brunt of this. This time the emphasis of half the population voicing their issues in the elections has also increased. Women in the districts are campaigning to raise their issues by forming groups. In the Legislative Assembly too, they are seeking to increase their numbers.
Not only this, but women are also raising the demand to include issues like women’s safety and economic promotion in the manifesto of the parties. They also got special morale behind raising their voice vigorously. Statistics show that the percentage of women voting has also increased in the last elections compared to men. Women are firmly on their side without that. Women social workers like Vandana Sharma, Poonam Kumari, Sangeeta Kumari of Muzaffarpur, associated with various women’s organizations, say that we have all raised our voice through a platform ‘Janghosh’. If our votes are valuable, then also consider our important party.
