The Biju Janata Dal (BJD) president and chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Saturday targeted the national parties for their failure to take steps for women empowerment and asserted that his party will fight on every conceivable platform for reservation of seats for women in Lok Sabha and legislative Assemblies.
However, Naveen’s statement has been criticised by both the Congress and the BJP who have accused the chief minister of playing the women card for the sake of votes ahead of the urban polls scheduled next year. They also claimed that the Naveen government wanted to divert public attention from its failure on various fronts, particularly on the issue of safety and security of women.
