“Congress aims 50 % of CM are women in next 10 years”: Rahul Gandhi

Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, stated on Friday that the party ought to aggressively support women in its internal structures and aim to have half of its chief ministers be women within the next ten years. At the opening of the Kerala Mahila Congress convention, “Utsaah,” the Wayanad MP stated that many of his party’s female leaders have the potential to become chief ministers.

“Earlier, I was discussing what would be a good target for us to try and achieve, and I thought a good target for the Congress party would be that in 10 years from today, 50 per cent of our chief ministers are women. Today, we don’t have a single woman chief minister. But I know many women in the Congress party who have the qualities to be very good chief ministers,” Gandhi said.

Attacking RSS, Rahul Gandhi said that is “purely a male organisation”. I think women are superior to men in many ways. They have more patience than men. They have longer-term vision than men. They are more sensitive and compassionate than men. We fundamentally believe that women should be part of the power structure,” Gandhi further added.

He claimed that RSS has never admitted women into its ranks since its existence. The former president of the Congress further stated that women’s place in Indian politics is at the heart of the fundamental conflict between the Congress and the RSS.
