Akhilesh Yadav:Samajwadi Party to reserve 20% of tickets for women in Madhya Pradesh polls

Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party and a former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, made a significant announcement on Wednesday regarding the distribution of tickets for the Madhya Pradesh assembly elections, stating that his party will give 20% of the tickets to women. During his two-day election tour of the state, Yadav made the comment on Wednesday while speaking to a crowd in the Rewa district of Madhya Pradesh.

“We want to tell the women that if any women or any women office-bearers of the organisation who have worked in the field, then the Samajwadi Party will give them a chance by giving tickets to 20 per cent to women,” Yadav said.
Lashing out at BJP, SP supremo said, the intentions of BJP are never clear and they are spreading false propaganda about reservation.
“BJP is promoting Mahila Shakti Vandan women reservation. I want to ask BJP, what percentage of women were given tickets for the assembly elections of Madhya Pradesh,” he said, further questioning, “Was 33 per cent tickets of women candidates were given the tickets? Why is BJP not giving tickets to 33 per cent women in the assembly elections of Madhya Pradesh and other states?” he added.

The SP leader also exhorted the populace to value the upcoming Assembly election.
