Recently, the Delhi Government has made an announcement of making the two major public transport of the capital, the Delhi Metro and DTC Bus Service, to be made completely free for it's women riders. But, not everyone seems to be pleased with this proclamation. The social media trolls are clearly seen to raise questions on gender equality, concern for EWS, inflation and women safety. Some are even directing this as a political strategy for the Aam Aadmi Party for its 2020 Assembly Elections. Most of the dissent is seen from the women in social media. Most of the claim from the city's female riders hails on the fact that the women are becoming more employed in the workforce and hence, are able to pay for their fairs. They want the government to direct it's attention to the "real" development issues, like, electricity and water. But, however in such a strict patriarchal society where women need to struggle for each and every step in their life, a step towards equity  should be welcomed warmly. We must always remember that Equity leads to Equality. Delhi has witnessed the worst cases of atrocities against women and is one of the most "women-unfriwou" cities in the world, with heinous crimes taking place against women. Women in the city are daily subjected to molestation publicly. This step by the administration to achieve equity is a fair chance given to all the women hailing from different walks of life and avail the mode of transport that they were once unable to.  It might directly indicate vote bank politics but in a broader scale this encompasses several broader issues of women in the society and hence it should be accepted with the least opposition. I hope the government in the future would extend this to the EWS sections as well.
