Womens Quota In Mumbai Civic Polls

The one distinction that sets apart the BMC Elections 2012, now three days away, from those in the corporation's history is the 50 per cent quota for women corporators. That is, of the 227 civic wards, 114 will be won and run by women candidates, the rationale being empowerment and equality of opportunity for women.
