SPEAKER URGES MAHARASHTRA’s CABINET WITH NO WOMAN TO FORMULATE NEW WOMEN’s POLICY

MUMBAI, Mar. 8, 2023 (TBINN)
Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Ajit Pawar today pointed out that there is not a single woman in the state Cabinet.
Nationalist Congress Party (N.C.P.) Leader was speaking in the Assembly on a resolution moved by Speaker Rahul Narvekar urging the government to formulate a new women’s policy.
I cannot understand what is the problem. The limit of 43 ministers (the maximum strength the state Cabinet can have) has not yet been exhausted. Women make up fifty per cent of the population but the state does not have a single woman minister, Pawar highlighted.
