Actor-turned politician and BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Gurdaspur Vinod Khanna today vowed to bring many women-oriented programmes to the constituency, if elected as an MP.

Addressing a gathering in Sujanpur area, he said, "From the time, election campaigning has begun, every leader is talking big, but no one is looking at the problems and issues related to women in this constituency."

"My promise is to bring many projects that will be focused on making women self-dependent and employed," Khanna said, adding that, making women financially independent is the key to the growth of this country and prosperity of the region.
