Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has said that the free bus travel promise made ahead of the general elections has the potential to ensure women’s empowerment.
Addressing a gathering of women in Gudur constituency of Nellore district here on Saturday, Mr. Naidu said the TDP–BJP-JSP government, upon coming to power, would implement the scheme by bearing the cost of bus fare. He also dubbed the scheme as a game-changer in bringing equality in society by breaking the gender barrier.
Mr. Naidu once again promised to implement 33% reservation for women in the legislative bodies and predicted that the women’s quota would become a reality by the general elections in 2029, which, he said, would also become the plank for ‘One nation, one election’.
