The AAP KI SHAKTI mega-rally at Krishnagar on 4
th February 2015 at 11 am is a celebration of the women of substance, the
Aam Aurat – our candidates, leaders, volunteers and supporters, who are an integral part of the AAP movement.
The BJP is hoodwinking the public in presenting a woman leader as
their CM candidate. This is an attempt to dupe the people of Delhi. They
talk about “women safety” and schemes for the girl child, but in
reality their cabinet ministers and chief ministers make comments saying
“women should produce 4 children, not wear jeans, not carry mobiles.
Some ministers even have cases of rape against them!
We would like to “expose” the true face of the BJP. It is
unimaginable to think that the Prime Minister has never condemned such
comments. Does that not amount to “silent approval “? You don’t need a
56 inch chest to provide opportunity & security to women
. You need real leaders.
It is just not enough for the BJP to para-drop a woman CM candidate
to prop-up their campaign when they have not shown any sustained
committed to women empowerment.
In AAP women are “equal partners”. We are bringing more and more
women into active mainstream politics. Every ward, assembly, district
Committee across Delhi and India will have at least one “Convenor” as a
woman through our Mission Vistaar effort.
Women’s safety is a major concern in Delhi – now unfortunately better
known as the Rape capital of the world. On average, 40 cases of crimes
against women are registered daily by Delhi police, including at least
four cases of rape.
Through the Delhi Dialogue, AAP engaged with women across the city,
to understand their fears and to table concrete and practical solutions
to ensure women’s safety. These solutions are enshrined in our
Manifesto. We will prioritise the implementation of all our commitments
once we form Government.
But our vision for Women is broader than just security – we wish to
ensure that every woman across Delhi is empowered to realize her
potential, to fulfill her dreams and to become a woman of substance. AAP
proposes Shakti , Suraksha and Samman is AAP’s promise to the Women of
Delhi
AAP is backed by thousands of empowered women. Thus for us the word –
‘’top leadership’’ is clichéd. We don’t believe in hero worship or
selective leadership.
Our movement in Delhi and across India is propelled by strong women
and they are all HERE in Delhi and will be at Krishna Nagar on the 4
th of February 2015 to celebrate the dawn of a new day for women of Delhi.
AAP has fielded empowered women of substance for the Delhi election
including; Bandana Kumari from Shalimar Bagh, Rakhi Birla from
Mangolpuri, Sarita Singh from Rohtash Nagar, Alka Lamba from Chandini
Chowk, Pramila Tokas from R.K.Puram and Bhavana Gaur from Palam.
Our Delhi campaign is being supported by AAP Women leaders from across the country; to mention just a few:

Director General of Police in India and the second woman
IPS officer in the country. She fights for women’s rights across the country. She was the AAP lok sabha candidate from Dehradun.
