Tumakuru, Oct 1: Veteran politician and former minister Leeladevi R Prasad has expressed sadness over the helplessness of women in politics.

Speaking at an interaction programme here on Sunday, Ms Prasad, who is now 85, said that women should either have godfathers or become girlfriends to scale heights in politics. “I’ve seen all parties and leaders. They all are alike,” she added.

“Though I had helped 8 leaders get tickets to contest Assembly polls, it took 40 years for me to make it to the Vidhan Soudha. When I wanted to contest from a Bengaluru constituency, I was denied the ticket. I was also told to search a constituency,” she charged.

“Some men, who can’t face women politically, indulge in character assassination. I had raised my voice seeking 33% reservation for women in politics when P V Narasimha Rao was prime minister. However, it is still a dream,” she said.
