PM Modi Appeals for 33% Women's Reservation in Parliament and State Assemblies
On India's 80th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged all political parties to support 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Highlighting women's leadership in local governance and the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam passed in 2023, Modi called the reservation the "need of the hour" and appealed for swift implementation despite past political challenges. The Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill aiming to enact this reservation fell short of the required majority earlier in 2026, prompting Modi's renewed call for bipartisan support.
