Rahul promises 50 pc reservation for women in govt jobs if Congress voted to power

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that his party will reserve 50 per cent of government jobs for women if it is voted to power.

Asserting that powerful women will change the destiny of the country, the former Congress chief asked why, even today only one in three women is employed and why is there only one woman in 10 government



jobs. 

“Isn’t the population of women in India 50 per cent? Is the presence of women in higher secondary and higher education not 50 per cent? If so, then why is their share in the system so low. Congress wants, ‘Aadhi Abaadi Poora Haq’, we understand that women’s potential will be fully utilised only when women have equal contribution in the government running the country,” he said in a post in Hindi on X.
