New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8:30 pm today, a day after the women’s reservation-related bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha amid opposition from Congress and allied parties.
The address comes at a crucial time, as the government’s push to advance 33% reservation for women faced a setback in Parliament. The bill could not secure enough support, leading to its defeat.
Modi, who had not reacted immediately after the bill’s fall, is now expected to present the government’s stance and clarify the position of the ruling BJP and the NDA on the issue of women’s reservation.
The address is likely to focus on the broader vision behind the proposed reforms and respond to the विपक्ष’s criticism over the bill.
