And that has emboldened them to stand up for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>      In other words, women have become the sunrise segment in Indian politics. The days of caste and sub-caste politics are passe.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government\u2019s three women-centric schemes\u2014<i>Ujjwala<\/i> (free gas connection and LPG cylinder subsidy), <i>Matru Vandana Yojana<\/i> (a maternity support scheme for pregnant and lactating mothers) and <i>PM Awas Yojana<\/i> (house ownership in the name of female members)\u2014have been a runaway hit among women, helping the saffron party win by securing 46% of the female vote, against 44% of the male vote share.<\/p>\n<p>Women held the key for the huge mandate in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>      While the Centre has budgeted  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>12,000 crore for the more than 102 million beneficiaries of the Ujjwala scheme in 2024-25, the budget for Matru Vandana, which caters to 32 million pregnant women, stood at  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>14,427 crore.<\/p>\n<p>      This apart, the SBI report points out that women have significant shares in some Central schemes, such as MUDRA (68%), <i>Atal Pension Yojana<\/i> for workers in unorganized sectors (44%), and Stand-Up India (81%).<\/p>\n<h2>BJP, Congress Promises<\/h2>\n<p>Buoyed by the impact of such schemes, both BJP and Congress have gone overboard in their 2024 election manifesto, either by introducing new schemes for women or expanding the purview of old ones. While BJP has plans for financial empowerment of women, Congress is talking of direct doles and ensuring an equitable work environment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cardHolder open psImageHolder psImageHolder2\">\n<figure id=\"inline-https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/lm-img\/img\/2024\/05\/28\/original\/123_1716902964825.JPG\">\n<div class=\"pos-rel\">\n\t\t\t<picture><source media=\"(max-width:399px)\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"11716902965815\" class=\"lozad storyEmbedImg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/lm-img\/img\/2024\/05\/28\/original\/123_1716902964825.JPG\" alt=\"Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s supporters during an election campaign rally in New Delhi on 22 May.\" title=\"Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s supporters during an election campaign rally in New Delhi on 22 May.\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t <\/source><\/picture>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>View Full Image<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"psFigcaption psFigcaption2\">Bharatiya Janata Party\u2019s supporters during an election campaign rally in New Delhi on 22 May. <strong>(AP)<br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>      The BJP manifesto talks of expansion of the government\u2019s Lakhpati Didi Self Help Group initiative, building more toilets for women in public areas, health services for reduction of breast and cervical cancer, integrating self help groups with the service sector, market-linked access, and creating hostels and creches to enable more women to participate in the workforce.<\/p>\n<p>      The <i>Lakhpati Didi<\/i> scheme, which was introduced in December 2023, offers an interest-free loan of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>5 lakh to women, to help them upgrade skills and earn at least a lakh per household annually. It aims to benefit 30 million women, as per the party manifesto.<\/p>\n<p>      In contrast, Congress\u2019s Mahalaxmi scheme is looking for an unconditional annual cash transfer of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>1 lakh to every poor Indian family. Beside this, the party has promised reservation for women in 50% of Central government jobs.<\/p>\n<p>It is sad that we are eyeing short-term gains through distribution of freebies &amp; social welfare schemes.<br \/>\n\u2014Swapnendu Bandyopadhyay<\/p>\n<p>      The choices are many. \u201cWomen are not only feeling pampered but for the first time they are feeling blessed to have been born as women. While the UP government is paying  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>25,000 on the birth of a baby girl to end discrimination between sons and daughters, the Centre is paying  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>6,000 to stop female foeticide,&#8221; said social scientist Prasanta Ray of Presidency University. \u201cBoth the UP and Bengal governments are paying a lumpsum to women for their marriage. Rural households celebrate and do not mourn their advent (any longer).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      But economists aren\u2019t impressed. \u201cIt is very sad that we are looking at short-term gains through distribution of freebies and social welfare schemes. Forget about long-term development, asset creation and infrastructural development is worst hit,&#8221; said Swapnendu Bandyopadhyay, professor of economics, Jadavpur University. \u201cWhat is scary is that this culture is causing a huge impact on the human psyche. It is giving rise to a parasitic mentality, living off another. There\u2019s no employment generation and the political parties are aiming to mitigate anger and frustration by giving people allowances. It\u2019s a vicious chain for governments, because these schemes and doles will need enhancement from time to time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>State-level Courting<\/h2>\n<p>At the state level, too, ruling parties have been going all out to capitalize on women voters. \u201cIt\u2019s a good thing that women are being seen as individuals and entities, with a mind of their own. In the age of competitive populism, having exhausted all existing constituencies, it is only natural that new areas will be tapped,&#8221; said Kingshuk Chatterjee, professor of history at Calcutta University.<\/p>\n<p>      In assembly elections, female voters largely prefer the party that has been able to create a credible base of beneficiaries among them. Odisha began empowering women through its Mission <i>Shakti <\/i>Self Help Groups back in 2001, immediately after Naveen Patnaik became chief minister. Over the years, Mission Shakti has empowered 7 million women by providing them seed money, credit linkages, market linkages and other benefits such as interest subsections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed\">\n<div style=\"min-height:405px; max-width:400px; margin:auto;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/F9CPN\/full.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>      In 2023-24, Mission <i>Shakti <\/i>received a hefty allocation of 41.57% from the state\u2019s gender budget. Interestingly, Odisha stands out, with 43% of its startups being led by women. The seats that have gone to the polls so far in Odisha have shown a 76% turnout by women and 75% by men. A Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader declared that BJP would come nowhere close to BJD\u2019s electoral prospects unless it breaks into Patnaik\u2019s women cheerleaders.<\/p>\n<p>      In Uttar Pradesh, a Hindi heartland state known for celebrating machismo, the government is politically sympathetic to the cause of women and chief minister Yogi Adityanath\u2019s popularity is on the ascent. This is because he is perceived as a protector and saviour. The abolition of Triple Talaq and reining in of roadside eve teasers won wide appreciation.<\/p>\n<p>      The CSDS Lokniti post-poll survey in Uttar Pradesh after the 2022 Assembly poll attributed BJP\u2019s comfortable majority to women voters. BJP\u2019s women\u2019s vote share was 13 percentage points higher than Akhilesh Yadav\u2019s Samajwadi Party (SP). As for the male vote share, the difference between BJP and SP was only 5%.<\/p>\n<p>      Yogi\u2019s success lies not just in women-related schemes but also in creating a women-friendly environment, infrastructure and work culture.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed\">\n<div style=\"min-height:393px; max-width:400px; margin:auto;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/mgdXS\/full.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>      For instance, the Mission <i>Shakti<\/i> scheme is training women in self-defence, besides sensitising them to crime and atrocities. Under the <i>Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivaah Yojana<\/i>, the Uttar Pradesh government spends  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>51,000 per wedding, with  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>35,000 going straight to the bride\u2019s account and the rest being used for a gift and arranging the ceremony. This helps explain why the percentage of women voters increased from 63.31% in the 2017 Uttar Pradesh Assembly to 67.18% in the 2019 Lok Sabha poll.<\/p>\n<h2>Bengal\u2019s Lakshmir Bhandar<\/h2>\n<p>Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee\u2019s basket of a dozen schemes for women, taking care of everything from the birth of a girl child to education, empowerment, marriage, pocket money and widow pension, fetched her 50% of the women\u2019s vote both in the 2019 Lok Sabha and 2021 Assembly elections\u201413 percentage points more than its principal rival BJP.<\/p>\n<p>      The biggest cash incentive for the women of Bengal is Lakhshmir Bhandar, a basic monthly allowance scheme, which started out with a payout of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>500 and  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>1,000 for general caste and SC\/ST women, respectively. It was launched a few months before the 2021 state Assembly election to blunt the rising tide of anti-incumbency and allegations of corruption. The scheme turned out to be a game changer as it covered 21 million women out of the total 37 million female electorate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed\">\n<div style=\"min-height:320px; max-width:400px; margin:auto;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/EjKeb\/full.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>      According to Pratichi Trust, founded by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen, the <i>Lakshmir Bhandar<\/i> cash incentive had empowered 85.6% of the women surveyed, with 61.1% admitting that the cash had enhanced their position in the household and given them financial security. As many as 75.9% said they were supplementing the family income and meeting the expenses of their child\u2019s education, buying medicines and also taking care of personal needs.<\/p>\n<p>      The rich dividends in the 2021 Assembly results, which saw Trinamool Congress slightly increase its seat count in the state Assembly, made the government double the allowance components for the general caste just before election dates were announced.<\/p>\n<p>      As expected, the move has created waves of excitement and interest among women. Such has been the craze for <i>Lakshmir Bhandar <\/i>that BJP\u2019s top leadership, including Modi and Amit Shah, had to take a leaf out of Banerjee\u2019s book and promise an enhanced alternative, Annapurnar Bhandar, on similar lines, if voted to power.<\/p>\n<p>      \u201cMamata didi says that if BJP comes to power, it will stop the programme. BJP is not going to stop any scheme.

But the government is determined to see it through even at the expense of some of its not-so-populist schemes, such as old-age pensions and some educational scholarships.<\/p>\n<p>      Maharashtra, too, has a bountiful basket for women, including the Manodhairya scheme, which provides financial assistance from  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>1 lakh to  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>10 lakh to rape victims, and the Majhi Kanya Bhagyashree Scheme, which has an annual grant of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>50,000 for a girl child up to 18 years. These and several other schemes, including <i>Matrutva Sahayog<\/i> Scheme, <i>Kishori Shakti<\/i> Scheme, financial assistance for marriage of girls in orphanages, among others, which were responsible for an expenditure of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>3,000 crore from the  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>9,000 crore budget of the Women and Child department\u2019s budget, said a senior secretary of the department, requesting anonymity.<\/p>\n<p>This is not assistance but your right.<br \/>\n\u2014M.K.

In addition, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) government in the state subsidizes free bus travel for all women, a widow remarriage assistance scheme and marriage assistance for daughters of poor widows.<\/p>\n<p>      In Andhra Pradesh, chief minister Jaganmohan Reddy, too, has launched multiple welfare schemes, of which some key initiatives are targeted at women. They include <i>Amma Vodi<\/i>, under which  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>15,000 is paid to mothers of schoolgoing children to encourage education, and YSR Cheyutha, which supports women aged 45\u201360 from weaker socio-economic backgrounds by providing  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>75,000 over four years.<\/p>\n<h2>The dividends<\/h2>\n<p>Madhya Pradesh\u2019s <i>Ladli Behna<\/i> Scheme, which provides  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>1,000 per month to women aged between 23 and 60, bleeds the state of  <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>8,000 crore annually, but has earned rich dividends for BJP.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed\">\n<div style=\"min-height:258px; max-width:400px; margin:auto;\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/nLkBC\/full.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>      Anti-incumbency will soon become a thing of the past, feel party leaders, because women will ensure continuity of a government in order to enjoy continuity of benefits. A glimpse of this loyalty is visible in Bengal. \u201cMy son is sitting at the Esplanade dharna in protest against the school recruitment scam, which gave jobs to many ineligible candidates. My son had passed his Master\u2019s with a good percentage and believes he had done well in the job entrance exam, but somehow he couldn\u2019t make it to the merit list,&#8221; said T. Jana of Kanthi in East Midnapore. \u201cHowever, my wife thinks we should vote for Didi (Mamata Banerjee) because in the absence of a job, my household is getting the benefits of Lakshmir Bhandar for my two unemployed daughters and Kanyashree ( <span class=\"webrupee\">\u20b9<\/span>2,000 a year) for my school going girl.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      Indeed, women in Bengal attend chief minister Banerjee\u2019s rallies in huge numbers, filling the front rows to signal their support for her. In a reciprocal gesture, Banerjee begins her speech by singing paeans to women and how they form the backbone of family, society and country.<\/p>\n<p>It has to be seen if West Bengal becomes an aberration to the national trends.<br \/>\n\u2014Pratim Ranjan Bose <\/p>\n<p>      But according to political analyst Pratim Ranjan Bose of Iravati Research and Communication Centre, such a simplistic correlation of freebies and support doesn\u2019t always hold. \u201cCongress lost Rajasthan and Chattisgarh despite offering huge freebies. It has to be seen if West Bengal becomes an aberration to the national trends,&#8221; said Bose. \u201cOne must remember that disbursement under MNREGA has been suspended in West Bengal for two years. This, coupled with the scam in school recruitment, has impacted both men and women.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      However, Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar has a different take. He thinks Banerjee is a feminist in letter and spirit and understands and feels for women in a way no other chief minister did or can possibly do. \u201cShe has single-handedly led the empowerment of women with innovative and out-of-the box schemes, which have really helped in establishing women\u2019s space in politics and the economy. She has ensured 35-45% representation of women in numerous decision making bodies, far ahead of others,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>      But could the showering of such boundless bounties lead to friction within families? Professor Chatterjee doesn\u2019t think so. \u201cMaybe a particular generation, say, the patriarchy of 60-plus, might feel threatened about losing their social control. But I am optimistic about the slightly younger age group. They\u2019ll adjust to the idea of women bringing in resources and having a say in the household.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>   <input type=\"hidden\" id=\"iframecount\" value=\"0\"\/>  <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livemint.com\/politics\/why-political-parties-are-breaking-the-bank-to-win-over-women-voters-11716888941732.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The blame for this state of affairs, in the cabbies\u2019 minds, lies with various women-centric welfare schemes.
