JAMMU, Feb 9: State president of BJP Mahila Morcha, Rajni Sethi today said that what PM Narendra Modi has done for women empowerment, entrepreneurship in five years, has generated a new hope among the women for their empowerment in the country.
Rajni Sethi, was addressing media persons at Party Headquarter, Trikuta Nagar here. She said that Prime Minister, Narendra Modi always considered “women first, prosperity for all”. Modi drew allegory of women power with the incarnation of Shakti- the Goddess of power. Modi Ji always said that women empowerment is vital to India’s development, she added. This statement from a charismatic leader like Modi meant a lot for women’s participation in economic and political sphere of India.
Mahila Morcha president was also accompanied by Morcha National Executive members, Suresh Jamwal, Sheela Koul and State Media secretary, Prerna Nanda.
Rajni Sethi, said it is to be analysed that what has been done for women’s economic empowerment by Modi Government in past five years. It can be viewed from two different perspectives.
At one level Narendra Modi’s Cabinet has five women ministers, including two in the powerful Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS). Nirmala Sitharaman, who is Union Defence Minister and Sushma Swaraj – the External Affairs Minister. Other Cabinet ministers are Maneka Gandhi, Harsimrat Kaur and Smriti Irani. The presence of women at the top level of decision making certainly speaks a lot about women’s empowerment, she added.
Rajni Sethi stressed that Modi said women’s empowerment is vital to India’s development and talked about flagship MUDRA Yojana, saying women entrepreneurs have benefited the most from the scheme.
