Rabri Devi, whose only experience was home and kitchen, was chosen to take up the post of Chief Minister of Bihar when her husband Lalu Prasad Yadav was forced to resign on corruption charges. She too also has several cases for amassing wealth disproportionate to her income. In an obvious result, she lost election for both Raghopur and Sonepur assembly seats last year. The wide spreading corruption cancer is very much in-built in our political system regardless of the gender. The new-generation wakeup call is getting its momentum and Anna Hazare movement is the only beacon of hope. While women empowerment is a much talked about issue, it's disheartening to see that many women of whom a lot is expected, fail to deliver their promises and guards the houses of corruption.
