New Delhi, Apr 8: After corporates and youth, it was the turn of woman power that Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today sought to woo in his bid to reach out to audiences nationwide in a speech that also had digs at Rahul Gandhi and the woman Governor in his state.
Women's entrepreneurship, empowerment and equality for the fair sex were the themes during his hour-long interaction organised by the FICCI Ladies Organisation in which a number of entrepreneurs, including FICCI President Naina Lal Kidwai, were present.
Observing that 50 per cent women alone could do a lot to bring economic development in the country, Modi cited examples of women in tribal areas and the dairy movement which made Amul an internationally known brand.
“But even today women are not part of the economic decision-making process. We have to change this. Bring them into the decision making process,” Modi said in a speech that was repeatedly cheered by the women audience.
