Mayawati ignored women empowerment: Rahul Gandhi

Slamming Mayawati for not taking any steps for development of women in the state, Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has said that while she is herself a woman she has altogether ignored empowerment of women. “There cannot be real development without simultaneous development in the condition of women, said Rahul Gandhi while addressing a public meeting as part of his ongoing Congress campaign in the state for the upcoming Assembly elections in February 2012. “Women in their daily lives have to face many constraints. Highlighting that Rajiv Gandhi Mahila Vikas Pariyojna has been working for all round development of rural women, he said under this program women have formed Self Help Group in their own villages. Rahul Gandhi pointed out that these women are given training in various crafts like basket making, pottery etc. Congress (I) in this way has encouraged women to learn and earn in their spare time. This has given them a sense of empowerment and new economic standing in the society. Highlighting that Congress (I) is not only about politics but also committed to social and economic well-being of the people, Rahul Gandhi urged the audience to vote for Congress (I) which would work for their empowerment and well-being.
