PM Narendra Modi said the BJP had ensured the passage of the women’s reservation legislation and lashed out at the Congress and Left governments for delaying it
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said ‘nari shakti’ (women empowerment) is India’s “biggest guarantee” as it plays an important part in “Viksit Bharat” (developed India). He said his government at the Centre is working hard to make women’s lives easier, and that the BJP had ensured the passage of the women’s reservation legislation.
The prime minister, who was addressing a mass gathering of women at the BJP’s Mahila Conference, lashed out at the Congress and Left parties for allegedly delaying the Women’s Reservation Bill. He said the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam has now become law, emphasising that he has fulfilled his commitment to the cause of women empowerment.
“Regrettably, after independence, the Leftist Congress government undermined the strength of our women,” Prime Minister Modi alleged.
He added: “The Congress and other parties delayed the reservation bill in the Lok Sabha. However, the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam has now become law. Modi has fulfilled his commitment.”
The PM stressed that the progress of the poor, women, youth and farmers will ensure national growth, saying there was a buzz around “Modi’s guarantee”, apparently referring to the central government’s development initiatives. He said he guaranteed freedom from triple talaq for Muslim women and fulfilled it honestly.
