The Odisha government should formulate a women-friendly excise policy keeping their sentiments and interests in view, said Khandapada MLA Soumya Ranjan Patnaik today.
Participating in a discussion relating to a question on the revenue income of the state, Patnaik said women constitute around 50 percent of the total population of the state. Women have voted for the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in large numbers for its women-friendly policies. So the government should formulate women-friendly excise policy keeping their sentiments in view.
