Former Chief Minister and Janata Dal (Secular) leader H.D. Kumaraswamy on Wednesday said his party would allocate 30 to 35 seats to women in the elections to the Legislative Assembly in 2023.
“We are willing to give seats to women. They should be willing to give a fight in their constituencies,” he said.
He also said that the party would bring back the issue of 33% reservation to women in elections if the JD(S) is voted to power. The issue had been raised by former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda, but the Congress and the BJP have put it on the back burner, he added.
