Subsidised LPG cylinders, monthly doles to meet kitchen expenses and the arrangement for free legal and medical consultation — these are some of the promises political parties in Haryana are making to woo women voters in the run-up to the Lok Sabha and Assembly polls.
The parties are also holding conferences to win over the support of women voters, who in the past decade played a crucial role in deciding the fate of the elections while rising above caste lines in a patriarchal society.
The Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) women cell general secretary Sunaina Chautala claims that her party pioneered in launching all-woman conferences in the State, with its ‘Hari Chunari Chaupals’ initiative way back in 2015.
