00:00India has 543 Lok Sabha MPs, but only 78 of these are women.
00:10This is despite the fact that increasingly over the last few decades, women voters are
00:15coming out in greater numbers and participating in elections.
00:19This is why political parties are also aggressively wooing them, particularly the BJP with all
00:24its schemes.
00:25But are they doing enough to actually give them representation?
