While claiming that the BJP government has taken up various schemes for welfare of women and is giving special emphasis on women, BJP Mahila Morcha national president Vanathi Srinivasan has said that the party will take up steps to provide quota for widows in job recruitment and the same will be brought for inclusion in the party's election manifesto.
Addressing a gathering at the BJP Mahila Morcha Kamal Sakhi Booth Sammelan for Imphal East district organised by BJP Mahila Morcha Lamlai Mandal at Nongada Kameng Lampak on Wednesday, Vanathi said that the BJP governments both at the Centre and in the state are taking up various schemes for welfare of the people.
People of North East states had discontentment in the past as smallest of government schemes were not reaching them and thus people of the region suffered in almost every sector, be it in road & communication, medical or in education.
However, grievances of the NE people have been addressed to a great extent in the past 10 years or so after the BJP government at the Centre started giving special focus on development of the region, she added.
While reiterating that the present government has firm resolve to empower women and taking up various welfare schemes for them, Vanathi Srinivasan assured that steps would be initiated to provide quota for widows in government job recruitment and the same would be vigorously pursued for inclusion in party's election manifesto.
BJP intending candidate in Lamlai AC Kh Ibomcha, who also attended the Booth Sammelan, said that political career of ex-MLA Ksh Biren is about to end as he has been taking up business activities instead of serving the people and the thought of doing everything with money is not binding nowadays.
He also said that people of Lamlai AC who elected late popular politician Ph Parijat will no,t fall into Ksh Biren's independent activities.
The Booth Sammelan was also attended by BJP Mahila Morcha Manipur Pradesh president Loteeka Leima, BJP Imphal East president P December, BJP Mahila Morcha Lamlai Mandal president I Jamini and party workers.
