Women who are in power are still lagging behind..!?


-Women are still lagging behind in terms of contesting elections.

-None of the women who worked in Chandrababu's cabinet were very active.

-The role of women in Jagan's cabinet is limited.


Women, who are more than half of the population, are not able to share the power equally. They still lag behind in terms of political representation. women are still lagging behind in terms of contesting elections and getting ministerial positions after winning. Although the representation of women is increasing now, it is not at the expected level. Representation of women in andhra pradesh in the last ten years. Let's take a look at the performance of women as ministers. Chandrababu, who came to power in 2014, gave the opportunity to Kimidi Mrunalini, Paritala Sunitha, and Peethala sujatha in his cabinet. After that, Bhuma Akhilapriya who came from YCPwas also given the post of minister. But it must be said that none of them could make their mark. After the defeat of the telugu nation in 2019, none of the women who worked in Chandrababu's cabinet were very active.


As far as jagan is concerned, in his first ministerial category, he gave the opportunity to Pamula pushpa Srivani, Taneti Vanita, and Mekatoti Sucharitha as ministers. Pamula pushpa Srivani was also given the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Mekatoti Sucharita was also tied to the Ministry of home Affairs. Jagan who changed the cabinet after two and a half years, andVanitha and mekathoti sucharitha continued to change departments. Roja, Vidadala Rajini, and Usashree Charan have been given an opportunity. This time the Ministry of home Affairs was handed over to Taneti Vanita.



The role of women in Jagan's cabinet is limited. Although there are female home Ministers in name, their role is nominal. Although Roja looks a bit active, it is remarkable that the sports and tourism department is not so important. Roja, who has already won two times, is facing this time. And when it comes to Telangana... KCR has been blamed for a long time for not giving at least one woman a position in the cabinet when he was the CM. After that, they gave opportunities to people like Sabita indra Reddy and Satyavathi Rathod. Currently, Sitakka and Konda surekha are ministers in revanth Reddy's cabinet. Both of them are leaders who can make independent decisions.



Overall, even though women are in power as ministers in telugu states, they are still lagging behind in taking independent decisions and showing their own style. Recently, the Modi government passed the Women's Reservation Bill in the Legislative Assembly. Henceforth, 33 percent reservation for women in legislatures must be implemented. india Herald hopes that the empowerment of women will increase through this law, which will come into force from 2029.
