Chitrakoot: Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday asked the women to start fending for themselves.

"Suno Draupadi, shastra utha lo. Ab Govind na aayenge. Kab tak aas lagaogi tum, bike hue akhbaron se. Kaisi Raksha maang rahi ho, Dushasan ke darbaron se. (Listen Draupadi, take up arms because now Govind will not come. How long will you wait for justice from newspapers that are already sold. What kind of protection are you seeking from Dushasan`s court.)," she said.

She said that this time, the talk of giving 40 per cent tickets to women in Assembly elections is just a beginning.
