Jharkhand Assembly Elections 2024: Kalpana Soren Highlights Women’s Participation in First Phase of Voting Reflects Success of Maiya Samman Yojana in Mahagama

Godda, November 17, 2024: In a significant political event, Gandey’s JMM MLA Kalpana Murmu Soren addressed election rallies in Mahagama and Pakur, voicing strong support for her party and highlighting key initiatives that have empowered women across the region. During her address in Mahagama, Kalpana Soren underscored the overwhelming turnout of women in the first phase of voting, attributing it to the success of the Maiya Samman Yojana and other government programs tailored to uplift women.

Women’s Enthusiastic Participation Reflects Trust in Government Initiatives

Kalpana Soren pointed out that the robust participation of women in the initial phase of the elections is a testament to the impact of Jharkhand’s Hemant Soren-led government. She emphasized that the Maiya Samman Yojana, a flagship scheme aimed at enhancing the dignity and socio-economic status of women, has played a pivotal role in fostering trust and engagement among female voters.

“The first phase of voting has shown remarkable participation from women. This reflects their trust in the Maiya Samman Yojana and other pro-women initiatives launched by the current administration,” said Kalpana Soren. She further added that the continued support for these initiatives demonstrates the commitment of the Hemant Soren government to address issues concerning women’s welfare and empowerment.

Rally at Mahagama Draws Crowds

The Mahagama rally was marked by an energetic crowd, with attendees showing their support for the JMM and its coalition partners. Addressing the gathering, Kalpana Soren highlighted how the state’s efforts have translated into tangible benefits for women. The Maiya Samman Yojana, which ensures economic assistance and respect for women’s roles in society, was cited as a crucial factor that has fostered confidence and active participation among women voters.

Outreach and Support for Female Candidates

Kalpana Soren’s rallies in Mahagama and Pakur also included appeals for support for Minister Deepika Pandey Singh and Nishat Alam. She lauded their contributions and urged voters to strengthen their representation in the government. “The presence of strong women leaders in our government is vital for continuing the progress we’ve made,” said Soren.

Other Pro-Women Policies Strengthening Community Trust

Apart from the Maiya Samman Yojana, Kalpana Soren spoke about other initiatives that have contributed to the increased voter turnout among women. Programs focused on education, healthcare and self-reliance have been implemented to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in Jharkhand.

“Our government’s policies have been designed with a deep understanding of the challenges faced by women,” Soren noted, referring to the schemes that provide financial support, skill development training and healthcare facilities. “This election is about choosing progress and ensuring that these programs continue to benefit our communities.”

Strengthening the Position of Women in Rural Areas

Kalpana Soren also highlighted how these initiatives have impacted rural areas, where access to resources and opportunities has historically been limited. The Maiya Samman Yojana, among others, has bridged the gap, giving women the means and confidence to participate in the democratic process actively.

“The participation we are witnessing now is not just a number, it’s a clear message that women in our rural areas recognize the change and want to be part of it,” she said.

Coalition’s Confidence in Winning

Expressing optimism, Kalpana Soren affirmed that the India coalition and the Hemant Soren government are poised for victory. “The trust placed by women and other community members in our programs signals that we are on the right path,” she stated, emphasizing that continued leadership by the coalition would ensure sustained progress and prosperity for Jharkhand.

The rally concluded with a call for unity and active participation in the upcoming phases of the election, underlining the need to support candidates committed to advancing women’s rights and community welfare.
