Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav
kicked up a row with his remark that rural
women will not benefit from the Women
Reservation Bill because they are not as
attractive as those from the affluent class.
Mulayam, whose party is in power in Uttar
Pradesh and is an outside supporter of UPA
government, made the comment while
articulating his opposition to the long pending
Women Reservation Bill. "Bade bade gharon ki
ladkiya aur mahilayan kewal upar ja sakti hain,
yaad rakhna, apko mauka nahi milega, hamare
gaon ki mahila me akarshan itna nahin,"(Only
girls and women from affluent class can go
forward, remember this..you (rural women) will
not get a chance. Our rural women did not have
that much attraction)," he said at a rally in
Barabanki.
