Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday (April 28, 2026) accused Opposition parties such as the Congress, the Samajwadi Party (SP), and others of allegedly stalling amendments to the women’s reservation Bill in Parliament this month.. Addressing a Jan Aakrosh Mahila Sammelan in his Lok Sabha constituency, Varanasi, Mr. Modi assured women that he will “leave no stone unturned” to ensure that their right to reservation in legislative bodies is implemented.
“These pariwarvaadi (dynastic) parties are unwilling to permit the daughters of our nation to reach the Assembly and Parliament. They are aware that if the daughters who are active in the community ascend to leadership positions, they will lose their grip on power. Their authority will be challenged. This is the reason why the pariwarvaadi parties have taken the lead in the protests within Parliament. The sisters and daughters of the nation have discerned their malicious intentions,” Mr. Modi said.
Opportunities for women
He added that he was seeking blessings from all women. “As the parliamentarian from Kashi, as the Prime Minister of the country, I need your blessings to achieve a major goal in the national interest — implementing reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies,” Mr. Modi said. “I once again assure all my sisters that I will leave no stone unturned to ensure that your right to reservation is implemented,” he added.
