Rahul Gandhi announces five ‘Mahila Nyay’ guarantees

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday announced five “Mahila Nyay” guarantees, including Rs 1 lakh annually into the bank accounts of poor women and 50 per cent reservation in government jobs if his party is voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Addressing a women’s rally in Maharashtra’s Dhule



district as part of his ongoing ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, Gandhi also promised that the central government share in the budget for women working as ASHA, anganwadi workers and those in mid-day meal schemes would be doubled.

A nodal officer would be appointed to educate women about their rights and fight their cases, he said.
