A day after the Constitution (128th Amendment) Bill, to reserve 33% seats in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies was cleared by both Houses of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the Bill presaged a new “democratic commitment” in India made possible because of a “strong decisive government with a full majority at the Centre.”
He was addressing a felicitation ceremony organised by the BJP’s Mahila Morcha or women’s wing, attended by party president J.P. Nadda as well.
During his speech, Prime Minister Modi also made a pitch for having a strong government with a majority, stating that it was one of main reasons for Bill to get pushed through so many years after it was first tabled.
