Tumakuru: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is the only party which has a broad perspective on women, said Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Speaking at the valedictory of the BJP National Mahila Morcha here on Saturday January 21, he said the role of women is very big in the economy. “Theirs is a thrift culture and thus saving will become an asset of the family. This saving will be of much helpful during days of difficulty. For this reason, a few banks go bankrupt. Competition is there between the western banks and the savings at home regarding the economy. Saving is the strength of a woman also and many things have come as practice out of culture. Our mothers though not educated had a treasure of knowledge. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had spoken about female foeticide and this shows his concern for girl children. Modi will lead the nation for another 15 years and there is no doubt about it,” said Bommai.
Tomorrow is ours
Bommai said women must unite and play an important role in BJP, and they must not only become the Mahila Morcha leaders but also emerge as the party leaders. “Former union minister Sushma Swaraj was an important leader who had worked side by side with all the important leaders. She had a special connection with Karnataka and touched the hearts of Kannadigas. Sushma Swaraj had achieved this without any training but now they have access to information technology, digital education and economic education also. Both formal education and economic educations are important. If women achieve this there will be no biggest weapon than this. They are hard-working, honest and they must talk for equality and justice, thereby bringing laurels to the country,” he said.
Women must become the focal point of development
Bommai said time is changing and 50 per cent of contribution must be not only by youths but also by women. “If 150 Crore hands work together the country will progress. The golden days as told by PM Modi are fast approaching and they will be incomplete without women. Women must become the focal point of development. Already they have made a mark in the fields of science, aerospace, engineering, IT/BT and others. The government will extend all the help for them to lead a life of self-respect and self-reliant,” he added.
