BJP asks women workers to propagate party’s achievements
30 July 2013 10:51 PM GMT
BJP on Monday asked its women workers to propagate the achievements of states where it is in power and highlights the ‘failures’ of the Congress-ruled states as well as the Centre in the run-up to the assembly and Lok Sabha polls.
At a national executive meet of BJP’s Mahila Morcha here, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj exhorted the women cadre to adopt a pragmatic approach while canvassing among women.
‘There is no point in talking about agriculture growth, GDP figures and so on. There is no need to tell the women about it. You talk to them about their pain... When you reach out to a woman from a slum, or a woman from an affluent section, talk to them about their specific concerns,’ Swaraj said.
Citing an example, she said while talking with young women working in call centres, the women workers should discuss issues about their security.
Speaking on the occasion, former BJP president Nitin Gadkari emphasised that Congress-led government has failed to ensure the safety of women across the country. ‘You should choose a party which can promise to gouge out the eyes of those who look at women with the wrong intentions,’ he said.
Swaraj advised the cadre to be well-versed with the party's viewpoints and counter the opponent accordingly. She also gave suggestions for the assembly polls due in five states.
