For LS polls, you do have a point as RJD/Laloo may pull this kind of stunt. But then, how about for polls of Bihar assembly? Those tactics will not work.fanne wrote: ↑19 Sep 2023 20:54 Lousy idea -
So if RJD has to fight, Laloo will have male caate on all seats of Bihar (the one that can fight/win) and have all women candidates in ay kerala, meeting its women quota. Now just for the sake of argument, let's say BJP is in fight for all seats in India (unlike it is not in fight in many southern state). It will be forced to choose 33% women candidate in Bihar (all else being equal), who may not be the best candidate to win.
That scenario would be funnyAgainst, say 33% of the seats are reserved. Suddenly Hyderabad is reserved for women, and Owaisi son either has to go gender change or his sister/wife/ other female members become important. Imagine, Wayanad and Amethi both are women reserved,appu shree will really get a gender change.
I think you mean JDU. I am 100% certain every politician in every political party in India can find his version of Rabri Devi. Each one will find either a wife/daughter/daugther-in-law/sister-in-law/whatever to stand in for him, just to comply with quota.In 40 seats of Bihar, RJD+ JDS cannot find 13 women candidates. They have only so many female family member. Imagine against them is from BJP ticket, again an yadav women, but maybe a retired or ex IAS/IPS or some similarly able lady. Who will win? RJD and JDS and MNS and TRS and DMK ...can also similarly choose able lady candidates, but their cadres, party members, family members may not support them. Cong will do fine as will TMC.
I am not a politician and I don't own a political party. If this is really about women empowerment, why do you need a law that reserves 33% of seats to women? For each of the seats reserved for SCs & STs (22.5%), give nomination papers only to SC women & ST women. That would be two birds, one stone. A twofer deal Nothing to do with delimitation, census, constitutional amendment, blah blah blah. Here & now
