Unfair deal for women candidates in LS polls?

Women candidates in the lists announced by major political parties till now are few and far between. Their representation is nowhere close 33 per cent, which the Women's Bill hopes to achieve. The worst off till now is the CPM. Its list of 60 candidates, interestingly announced on the Women's Day, has only three women candidates.Out of Congress' 24 candidates announced in Uttar Pradesh, only five are women.BJP's list of 166 candidates so far has 26 women. That's just a little over 15 per cent.Samajwadi Party has only 6 women candidates out of 71.
