We have made 3 crore sisters Lakhpati Didis, but it is very necessary that the role of women increases even more in the decisions being made for the country. Therefore, our government has enacted a law to provide 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Efforts are now being made to ensure that sisters across the country, including West Bengal, benefit from this starting from the Lok Sabha elections in 2029,” he said.“Therefore, the government has scheduled a special session of Parliament on April 16, 17, and 18. This right of our mothers and sisters has been pending for 40 years. Any further delay is not right. From Cooch Behar, I once again assure all states of the country that those states that have done good work in population control will not face any loss in terms of seats. Everyone will benefit. The participation of all states and everyone’s rights will remain protected. We want to firmly stamp this in Parliament: that additional seats should be increased for women so that states can reap major benefits from it,” he added.PM Modi also alleged the TMC government does not consider any constitutional institution to be significant.“Democracy is bleeding every day on the sacred soil of Bengal under the ruthless TMC administration,” the Prime Minister asserted.The situation here is so bad that the Supreme Court had to intervene, PM Modi said, alleging that the TMC is hell-bent on “murdering law and order”.
