Advertisement Gender parity is a long way off in India’s political and electoral arena with political parties remaining reluctant to field more women in elections. In the ongoing multi-phase elections for four state assemblies and one union territory, parties have fielded just a handful of women in the electoral contest. Of the 3,559 candidates vying for 238 seats in the Tamil Nadu State assembly, just 380 (11 percent) are women. The ruling All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) has just 14 women (8 percent) among its 171 candidates in the fray. There are only 11 (6.3 percent) women among the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s (DMK) 173 contestants and of the 25 candidates fielded by its ally, the Congress, just one is a woman. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the AIADMK’s partner, has three women among its 20 candidates.
