Trinamool Congress supremo and West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday announced 41 percent women candidates for the Lok Sabha polls. The move comes two days after Odisha chief minister and BJD president Naveen Patnaik declared that his party would set aside 33 per cent tickets for women candidates in the Lok Sabha polls. “It is a challenge to all the political parties in India. We had 35 percent women representation in the last Lok Sabha. This time almost 41 per cent of the candidates are women,” she said.
