'CEDAW , UNCRPD adopted and talked about equal rights for #PWD in political spaces. The RPD Act however only talked about equality in voting rights; participation in contesting elections is also necessary to be talked about.' -Murli Alathur, Secretary @NPRD_IN

'Indian constitution uses the term- ‘mentally unsound’ for people with psycho-social #disability, they are not given equal opportunity to vote & participate in elections. E.g., #PWD weren’t allowed to file their nomination in some states'. -Murli Alathur, Secretary @NPRD_IN

'When I, a person in a wheelchair was elected, people couldn’t believe I would be able to fulfill my duties. My education was an asset, when I started working I became more confident and took the leadership role well!' -Kavita Bhondave, Sarpanch, #WWD, Nasik, Maharashtra

'#Reservation of seats for people with #disabilities in administrative and government bodies is needed to enhance our voice and visibility and ensure an #inclusive participation of all people'. -Sudha Patel, youngest woman Sarpanch with disability
