TIL Desk/National/Bengaluru/ Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said India is now moving forward from women development to women-led development, and “women first” was the mantra of his government and the party.
Addressing Karnataka BJP Mahila Morcha Karyakartas via the ‘Narendra Modi App’, the prime minister asked them to win the May 12 Karnataka Assembly elections by concentrating on booths. “Today the country is moving forward from women development to women-led development,” Modi said.
“When we have such a mantra for the country’s development, our party also believes in this mantra. For party Mahila Shakti (women power) is important. For us whether it is organisation or government or framing of programmes it is women first,” he added.
Capable women have been given important portfolios in his cabinet, Modi said adding group photos of foreign ministers and defence ministers at the SCO summit in China showed that Sushma Swaraj and Nirmala Sitharaman representing India were the only women.
