Former BJP leader K. Annamalai, who has floated the ‘We The Leaders’ movement, on Friday called for women to constitute half of the State Cabinet. He was addressing an event where he presented the Kamarajar Awards to 10 women from across Tamil Nadu at Narada Gana Sabha in Chennai.

While appreciating the TVK-led government for giving Cabinet berths to more women than previous governments, Mr. Annamalai said he aspired to form a Cabinet with 50% women when his movement came to power.
