IMPHAL, January 25: The NDA government has launched the `Beti Bachao` scheme emphasising women empowerment; we should avail the benefits of such schemes as citizens of India, stated BJP Manila Morcha secretary (Administration) Laishram Boby Devi.

Speaking at a function in Awang Wabagai Potsangbam under Lamshang Assembly constituency, she said women are responsible for maintaining the household of every family but during the UPA government which ruled the country for 10 years there were no such schemes for women empowerment.

She said women who are struggling to earn their daily bread need to change their lives. `If people want to change their lives, they need to replace the present government by voting the BJP to power. We have to choose candidates who know the plight of poor people and who can help them in bettering their lives` she added.

So, enrolling in the BJP is needed to strengthen the BJP Manipur for the 11th Manipur Legislature Assembly elections in 2017, she said, adding every BJP worker have decided to unite and face the Congress party.

Boby Devi said Vijaya Raje Scindia was a woman leader of the BJP during its initial days in the 1980s who occupied the office of the BJP vice-president. The Queen of Gwalior worked hard for the cause of women in the country. The NDA government has decided to observe her death anniversary all over India from today onwards, she added.

During the observations, BJP Manipur Pradesh general secretary M Asnikumar, former BJP candidate of Lamshang AC in the last general elections Phijam Pakchao and the pradhan of the Potsangbam Gram Panchayet were also present in the function.
