Local governments

Read the following conversation. Write in two hundred words your
opinion about the issues raised in this conversation. Alok: Our Constitution guarantees equality between men and
women. Reservations in local bodies for women ensure their equal
share in power.
Neha: But it is not enough that women should be in positions of
power. It is necessary that the budget of local bodies should have
separate provision for women.
Jayesh: I don’t like this reservations business. A local body must
take care of all people in the village and that would automatically
take care of women and their interests
