Women played an imperative role in realization of Telangana state unquestionably. Taking the issue up to the Parliament was one step and passing the bill in either house was another step.

Nevertheless, the credit of passing the ibid bill in either house was a herculean task.

The entire show was in the hands of four women who grabbed the attention of the entire world. They are none other than Sonia Gandhi, the UPA Chairperson; Sushma Swaraj, the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha; Meira Kumar, the Speaker of Lok Sabha; and Mayawati, the supremo of Bahujan Samajvadi Party.
