&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;While the Trinamool Congress sails ahead of its opponents on fielding women candidates, the relatively higher numbers of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion, to which more than one party has contributed.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;With 50 women candidates, or 17% of the 291 seats from where it is contesting a heated assembly election in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s Trinamool Congress (TMC) has once again taken the lead amongst states that offer the largest space for women&amp;rsquo;s representation in politics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the outgoing assembly, 14% are women, well above the 8% national average across Vidhan Sabhas, though slightly below the 14.6% in Parliament and significantly below the 24% worldwide average presence of women in elected assemblies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When Mamata declared ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that 41% of her party&amp;rsquo;s tickets would be given to women candidates, she translated her commitment to women&amp;rsquo;s participation in politics into action. If the rationale behind the &amp;ldquo;magic figure&amp;rdquo; of 41% appears unclear, it could simply have been that the &amp;ldquo;percentage was based on the number of women already in her shortlist&amp;rdquo;, said Tara Krishnaswamy of Shakti, a non-profit organisation that works to enable and increase women&amp;rsquo;s participation in electoral politics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the 23 women who ran on a TMC ticket, nine got elected&amp;mdash;the second highest contingent of women parliamentarians in the Lok Sabha, after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). That said, data suggest that while the TMC sails ahead of its opponents on this issue, the relatively higher participation of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion to which more than one party has contributed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An examination of the profile of TMC women candidates over time also indicates that their inclusion in the party could well be the by-product of an instrumental approach to ticket distribution, rather than from the adhesion to a normative principle of equality that would&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; prevail over electoral strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

If the rationale behind the &amp;ldquo;magic figure&amp;rdquo; of 41% appears unclear, it could simply have been that the &amp;ldquo;percentage was based on the number of women already in her shortlist&amp;rdquo;, said Tara Krishnaswamy of Shakti, a non-profit organisation that works to enable and increase women&amp;rsquo;s participation in electoral politics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the 23 women who ran on a TMC ticket, nine got elected&amp;mdash;the second highest contingent of women parliamentarians in the Lok Sabha, after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). That said, data suggest that while the TMC sails ahead of its opponents on this issue, the relatively higher participation of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion to which more than one party has contributed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An examination of the profile of TMC women candidates over time also indicates that their inclusion in the party could well be the by-product of an instrumental approach to ticket distribution, rather than from the adhesion to a normative principle of equality that would&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; prevail over electoral strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;With 50 women candidates, or 17% of the 291 seats from where it is contesting a heated assembly election in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee&amp;rsquo;s Trinamool Congress (TMC) has once again taken the lead amongst states that offer the largest space for women&amp;rsquo;s representation in politics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the outgoing assembly, 14% are women, well above the 8% national average across Vidhan Sabhas, though slightly below the 14.6% in Parliament and significantly below the 24% worldwide average presence of women in elected assemblies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;When Mamata declared ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that 41% of her party&amp;rsquo;s tickets would be given to women candidates, she translated her commitment to women&amp;rsquo;s participation in politics into action. If the rationale behind the &amp;ldquo;magic figure&amp;rdquo; of 41% appears unclear, it could simply have been that the &amp;ldquo;percentage was based on the number of women already in her shortlist&amp;rdquo;, said Tara Krishnaswamy of Shakti, a non-profit organisation that works to enable and increase women&amp;rsquo;s participation in electoral politics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Of the 23 women who ran on a TMC ticket, nine got elected&amp;mdash;the second highest contingent of women parliamentarians in the Lok Sabha, after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). That said, data suggest that while the TMC sails ahead of its opponents on this issue, the relatively higher participation of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion to which more than one party has contributed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;An examination of the profile of TMC women candidates over time also indicates that their inclusion in the party could well be the by-product of an instrumental approach to ticket distribution, rather than from the adhesion to a normative principle of equality that would&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; prevail over electoral strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

How Mamata’s Trinamool Broke The Glass Ceiling For Women In Politics -Gilles Verniers & Maya Mirchandani

-Article-14.com While the Trinamool Congress sails ahead of its opponents on fielding women candidates, the relatively higher numbers of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion, to which more than one party has contributed. New Delhi: With 50 women candidates, or 17% of the 291 seats from where it is contesting a heated assembly election in West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress (TMC) has once again taken the lead amongst states that offer the largest space for women’s representation in politics. In the outgoing assembly, 14% are women, well above the 8% national average across Vidhan Sabhas, though slightly below the 14.6% in Parliament and significantly below the 24% worldwide average presence of women in elected assemblies. When Mamata declared ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections that 41% of her party’s tickets would be given to women candidates, she translated her commitment to women’s participation in politics into action. If the rationale behind the “magic figure” of 41% appears unclear, it could simply have been that the “percentage was based on the number of women already in her shortlist”, said Tara Krishnaswamy of Shakti, a non-profit organisation that works to enable and increase women’s participation in electoral politics. Of the 23 women who ran on a TMC ticket, nine got elected—the second highest contingent of women parliamentarians in the Lok Sabha, after the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). That said, data suggest that while the TMC sails ahead of its opponents on this issue, the relatively higher participation of women in Bengal politics is part of a longer trend of gradual inclusion to which more than one party has contributed. An examination of the profile of TMC women candidates over time also indicates that their inclusion in the party could well be the by-product of an instrumental approach to ticket distribution, rather than from the adhesion to a normative principle of equality that would   prevail over electoral strategy.
