Rahul Gandhi assures 33% quota for women in govt jobs

Congress President Rahul Gandhi addressed hundreds of students in Chennai as a part of his campaign for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. To a student's question related to women empowerment, Rahul replied, “I don't think women should be second to men in any way. We will pass women's reservation bill in Lok Sabha, assemblies and reserve 33% for women in govt jobs.” He also added, “I think generally women are smarter than men.” Rahul also pointed out that Tamil Nadu was one of the leaders in how it treats women.
