The state chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s recent announcements aimed at women are being seen as a renewed effort by the party supremo to win over more women voters. The Chief Minister had on more than one occasion announced that the Trinamool Congress-led government would weed out gender bias in the state police force.
The TMC’s apolitical front-Bango Janani will be in the forefront of a sort of social movement to reach out to more women in West Bengal. It is worth mentioning that women voters constitute more than 48 per cent of total electorate. Out of the 6.98 crore voters in the state during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, 3.39 crores or around 48 per cent of the voters were women.
