Urban women talk jobs, inflation stings in rural areas
While rural women prioritized reducing inflation, urban women voters considered the benefits and drawbacks of the BJP’s ten-year rule at the Center, including instances of paper leaks and failed recruitment exams. They talked about how difficult it was for them to run their houses in rural Gurgaon because of the skyrocketing costs of vegetables, rations, and LPG. Notwithstanding these reservations, women in both urban and rural areas preferred a stable national government headed by a single sizable party over a coalition. They conceded that the last ten years have shown equality. When deciding which EVM button to click, many rural women still looked to their male family members for guidance.
The 45-year-old businesswoman Sarah Bedi declared, “Rao Inderjit has done nothing for Gurgaon. It is not possible to live here. Women must always be on high alert; we are not allowed to stroll or be out on the streets after dusk, the woman told TOI. “But, I am a devoted follower of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and even though I strongly disagree with Inderjit, I had to contribute to installing a leader in the government who has outperformed others by a wide margin.” The 82-year-old Krishna Chowdhary declared his opposition to dynasty politics. This Ardee City citizen emphasized, “I voted for the development of the country, employment for people, and security for women and young girls, which are very badly needed in our country.”
But the majority of rural women were preoccupied with growing costs and social and familial inequity. Both housewives and working women find it tough to manage a household due to inflation. Malti Soren laments, “We can no longer afford LPG,” as she casts her ballot at the Sector 21 polling place. “The conversation from “3 Idiots” is becoming real: everything will now be offered at the jewelers’ showroom, not just paneer. We require a government that can control inflation.
Meenakshi Kumar, 37, criticized the authorities in Saran village, Faridabad, for not doing enough to address the water scarcity. We want the government to act to address the issue of water scarcity, whether it be at the federal or state levels. She claims that the water supply is erratic and frequently stops coming for several days at a time. “People are just asking for the government to supply the necessities for their basic needs. Since they are in charge of running the entire household, women are particularly concerned about keeping their daily schedules intact, Meenakshi continued.
