Women activists in India have criticized two of India’s major political parties who have made sanitary towels a key promise for upcoming state elections.

India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party and the Congress party, which rules the southern state of Karnataka, have promised free sanitary pads to all women if they are elected.

According to the BBC, the pledge comes after India imposed a 12 percent tax on sanitary products in July, causing much anger and protests.

But activists are not convinced.
