Reservation Bill a ‘Revolutionary’ Step for Women’s Empowerment, Says Adityanath

The Narishakti Vandan Bill, according to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is a “revolutionary” move toward the empowerment of women.

The measure to provide women 33% of the seats in the Lok Sabha and state legislatures was tabled by the government on Tuesday. The first law presented in the new Parliament building was this one.

Adityanath said in a post on X that India, a great democracy, should be proud of the bill’s introduction.

He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Narishakti Vandan Adhiniyam” was a “yugantkari” (revolutionary) move towards women’s emancipation.

The chief minister praised the nation’s “matra shakti” (women power) for the measure and said that it would not only provide rights to the female population but would also strengthen and increase participation in Indian democracy.

He thanked Modi for the measure, saying that it “will play a big role in building a developed India.”

The Modi administration has resurrected the idea of women’s reservation in Lok Sabha and state legislatures, which was put on hold for 27 years due to a lack of agreement among parties, by introducing the bill, which calls for an amendment to the Constitution.

The CM also praised the nation’s residents for the brand-new Parliament building.

The proceedings for the extraordinary session of Parliament began on the second day in the brand-new structure.

“The new Parliament building representing the constitutional rights of 140 crore Indians will become an eternal symbol of our strong and golden future along with the establishment of human values,” he said on X.

“Under the effective leadership of revered Prime Minister Narendra Modi, I have complete faith that this Parliament building will further accelerate the ongoing journey of ‘Ek Bharat-Shrestha Bharat’. He remarked, “Congratulations to the people of the nation.
