A woman has played a major role in all the fields of society. The political field still need for more women participation. The political institutions have to provide adequate facilities to them to get more involvement in the political field. The gender discrimination is the main cause to not achieving more the desired goals and objectives of the government under the programme of ‘women empowerment’. The self interest of women needs for the political participation high but unfortunately the women are facing different phases of political exploitations at the different stages. Women are not only to be considered as voter in the political participation even they do have opportunity to contest in the election and to get portfolios in the government. In recent days the role of women in politics is inevitable because all the section of society is prior to participation in politics will helps to achieve the popular democracy in the country. Unfortunately, the women’s participation and representation in politics is proportionately unequal. Only a few of women candidates recognised in the Karnataka politics. The constitution of India made it clear about the equal opportunity to all irrespective of caste, gender and religion. ‘The Women’s Reservation’ was one of the factor influence more on women empowerment in all social sectors.
