    To start with how much BJP and its ministers respect women, womanhood?????. Modi should first attribute this great humanitarian gesture to his own estranged wife and grace her with her rightful place beside him in his house. Charity begins at home not on street one way fake bhashans.

    Naveen, all fingers on hand are not same size. Bad apples are there everywhere.

    Its not a few bad apples, the entire basket is rotten. These women have achieved on their own strength and this person is taking credit for it by showing that because of his policies they have been able to prosper. In fact it is the opposite. The freedom for women was bestowed by secular parties. Whenever BJP and its allies have ruled, they have crushed the freedom of women and freedom to be diverse in their choices. Only the women who are supporters of these parties and wearing big bindis and saffron clothes and holding saffron flags have enjoyed the Blessings.
