Observers said the country’s economic and political future is now inextricably linked to its women.

India n women stand in queue to cast their vote for general election in Ahmadabad. INDIA: The battle for India ’s women voters is shaping up to be a big and bitter one in the world's largest election, as they form a crucial vote bank that political parties cannot ignore.

More women than men cast their vote at the last election in 2019 for the first time, according to the Election Commission of India. In its manifesto, the ruling party highlighted how it helped 10 million rural women become “lakhpatis”, a colloquial term for millionaires. Mr Modi has promised to raise that number to 30 million if he is elected again.

Police detained the athletes during their attempt to march towards the new parliament building while Mr Modi was inaugurating it last May. “After BJP came to power in 2014, every political party is very keen on attracting the women voters,” she added.
