Agenda 2019

The National Women's Party (NWP), which was registered in 2012 and which recently announced its intention to contest 283 seats in the coming Lok Sabha elections, has declared that it might consider fielding some male candidates as well. It would field 13 women candidates in the upcoming general elections and in the remaining seats, the NWP would field male candidates, said party President Shweta Shetty. Shetty said the party had chosen the 13 seats based on the dominance of women population there. The party claims it has made strong inroads among women in Rajasthan and said it would fight all 25 Lok Sabha seats in the state in the upcoming general elections.
