14 Women candiates Elected to new Punjab Assembly
Chandigarh (BB) : 14 Women candidates have made their presence felt in the male-dominated politics of Punjab by creating a history of sorts in the 2012 assembly polls. They have notch up the highest-ever tally since 1967. Of the total 93 women candidates in the fray, 13 have made it to the state assembly this time. Six winners each are from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) and the Congress, which had fielded 10 and 11 women candidates, respectively. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which contested 23 seats, fielded three women candidates and two of them have won. Till now, the number of women in the assembly had never touched the double-digit mark. And the previous best tally of winning women contestants was in the 2002 general polls when eight women got elected. Besides, the number of women contestants was also the highest ever and saw a sharp jump from the previous best of 71 in 2002 general polls. Among the women candidates, Charanjit Kaur Bajwa, wife of Congress MP Partap Singh Bajwa, won by the biggest margin of 16,163 votes from the Qadian assembly constituency. Rajwinder Kaur of the SAD had the lowest victory margin of 572 votes in the Nihal Singh Wala (SC) assembly constituency. While Congress veteran and former chief minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal made it to the assembly from Lehra with margin of 3,345 votes, Karan Kaur, the richest among all the candidates in these elections, of the Congress sailed past her nearest rival in the Muktsar assembly segment by 9,251 votes. Seema Kumari of the BJP is the youngest woman contestant at 33 to get elected. She trounced her nearest rival, Balbir Ram of Congress in the Bhoa (SC) segment by a margin of 12,129 votes. While Navjot Sidhu, wife of BJP MLA and excricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu, won from Amritsar (East), SAD nominee and former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur got elected from Bholath. The other winning women contestants are Aruna Chaudhary, Harchand Kaur, Gur Iqbal Kaur (all from Congres), F Nesara Khatoon, Mohinder Kaur Josh, Harpreet Kaur Mukhmailpura and Vaninder Kaur Loomba (SAD).
