PM Modi Urges Support for Women's Reservation Bill Amid Political Debate

Opposition parties, including Congress, criticized the government for delaying implementation and questioned linking the reservation to delimitation and census exercises. BJP leaders defended Modi's speech as a roadmap for development, while debates continued over political motives and the stalled bill's future.
