Are women ministers in Telugu states rubber stamps?

G GOWTHAM
Women, who are more than half of the population, are not able to share the power equally. They still lag behind in terms of political representation. women are still lagging behind in terms of contesting elections and getting ministerial positions even after winning. Although the representation of women is increasing now, it is not at the expected level. Representation of women in andhra pradesh in the last ten years is bleak. Let's take a look at the performance of women as ministers.

Chandrababu, who came to power in 2014, gave opportunity to Kimidi Mrinalini, Paritala Sunitha, Peethala sujatha in his cabinet. After that, Bhuma Akhilapriya who came from ycp was also given the post of minister. But it must be said that none of them could make their mark. Maybe that's why. After the defeat of the telugu nation in 2019, none of the women who worked in Chandrababu's cabinet were very active.

As far as jagan is concerned.. In his first ministerial category, he gave opportunity to Pamula pushpa Srivani, taneti vanita and Mekatoti Sucharitha as ministers. Pamula pushpa Srivani was also given the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Mekatoti Sucharita was also tied to the Ministry of home Affairs. jagan who changed the cabinet after two and a half years ensured to change departments for Vanitha and Mekathoti Sucharitha. Roja, vidadala rajini and Usashree Charan have been given an opportunity. This time the Ministry of home Affairs was handed over to Taneti Vanita.

The role of women in Jagan's cabinet is limited. Although there are female home Ministers in name, their role is nominal. Although Roja looks a bit active, it is remarkable that the sports and tourism department is not so important. Roja, who has already won two times, is facing this time. In addition to the opposition in her own party, the sympathy for Gali's family turned into disadvantages for her. Apart from the likes of Vidadala rajani and Roja in Jagan's cabinet, others could not make much of a mark.
