“This is not just a fight over one law, but a larger battle against Congress’s anti-reform mindset, driven by negativity. I have no doubt that the daughters of this country will give a strong answer to this thinking. I said in Parliament, give half the population their rightful share, and I would credit the opposition for it. Yet those who view women through a regressive lens remained stuck in their position and refused to move beyond it," he said.

PM Modi has slammed Congress, TMC, DMK and SP for doing “sefish politics" by opposing the Women Reservation Bill.

“The self-serving politics of parties like Congress, DMK, TMC, and the Samajwadi Party has come at the expense of the nation’s women. Yesterday, crores of women across the country had their eyes on Parliament," he said.
