The remarks of former Chief Minister and JD(S) president H.D. Kumaraswamy that “rural women have lost their way” due to guarantee schemes, came under flak from KPCC women’s wing president Pushpa Amaranth who said that it was an affront to the dignity of women folk in general.
Mr. Kumaraswamy’s remarks has already triggered a row and the State Commission for Women has already issued a notice to him.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, Ms. Amarnath said Mr. Kumaraswamy has insulted women’s community and the remarks only betrayed the “anti-women mindset” of the JD(S)-BJP leaders.
