Promise to raise the share of women in the police force to 33 percent of total strength, with at least 1 percent reservation for gender minorities. Karnataka's 1 percent reservation for transgender persons in state jobs (including police) predates this manifesto - it followed a 2021 Karnataka High Court order - so it does not represent fresh delivery of this commitment. A 33 percent women-in-police target is not confirmed as adopted or achieved in approved sources. Status pending.
