Описание: This India Today special report analyses the decisive role of women voters in Bihar's political landscape, attributing their loyalty to Nitish Kumar. The bulletin details how policies implemented over two decades, including the Jeevika self-help groups, a Rs 10,000 livelihood grant, the free bicycle scheme, 50% reservation in panchayats, and 35% reservation in government jobs, have empowered women financially and socially. According to the report, 'This was a women-powered victory, where the 'M' vote has been redefined as 'Mahila' vote'.
