Parties need to make strategy to woo women in elections
Besides tomtomming their achievements before the prospective voters, the political parties will have to focus on what they have done for the benefit of the women voters as they outnumber men in erstwhile Khammam district, according to recently released voters list
Kothagudem: Besides tom-tomming their achievements before the prospective voters, the political parties will have to focus on what they have done for the benefit of the women voters as they outnumber men in erstwhile Khammam district, according to recently released voters list.
According to the new voters list, the women are way ahead in numbers in the entire erstwhile district which has ten Assembly seats. The final publication of electoral rolls on Monday by the Khammam and Kothagudem District Election Officers revealed the above fact.
The electoral rolls were published as the Election Commission of India ordered 2nd Special Summery Revision of electoral rolls in the wake of premature dissolution of Telangana Assembly.
The total number of voters in Kothagudem district is 8, 47, 528 as on Oct 12, 2018. The male and female voters division is as follows, 4, 17, 909 and 4, 29, 527 respectively besides 92 transgender voters.
Similarly, the total number of voters in Khammam district is 10, 54, 838. The male and female voters are 5,18,681 and 5, 36, 086 respectively besides 71 transgender voters.
It is important to note that in all Assembly segments, it is the women voters that are more in numbers in erstwhile Khammam district. Of all the constituencies, Khammam constituency has more female voters, whose total number is 13 3,217.
In Khammam constituency, while the number of female and male numbers are compared, female voters exceed by 8,031. Palair is followed with 3,929, Kothagudem standing next with 3,882 and with Bhadrachalam is having 3,752 more female voters than male.
The difference between male and female voters is lowest in Pinapaka constituency. Here they are 8,6302 and 86162 male voters. It may be recalled that as the female voters are also higher in number in the previous electoral rolls published on Jan 20, 2018 under Special Summery Revision.
Therefore, it won’t be wrong to say that they would decide the fate of candidates in the ensuing Assembly elections, given the fact that female voters spread in 10 Assembly constituencies in Khammam and Bhadradri Kothagudem districts are more in number than men voters.
It all boils down to one fact that the contesting candidates need to lay special focus on impressing women voters if they want to better their winning chances in the elections.
