The government of India has introduced the Women Reservation bill and the same will come to a discussion in the 20 September Parliamentary session.
Once this bill is approved and comes to effect, 33% of the MLA and MP seats in the country will be reserved for women and they will have to contest in these seats. This is a positive change for women empowerment.
KTR has reacted to the same now as he wrote "There are certain occasions when we have rise above politics, stand together on issues that matter in the larger interest of the Country
Today I am proud as an Indian citizen that our Parliament has taken into consideration the passage of #WomenReservationBill 👏
My wholehearted compliments to all involved; the Union Govt & all political parties that are in support of this proposed landmark Legislation. Delighted & Proud that our @BRSparty leadership as directed by Hon’ble CM KCR Garu also has made many efforts to make it thus far
On a side note, In Telangana many years ago we had already implemented 50% reservations for Women in Local Govts; Zilla Parishads, Municipalities & Corporations and Gram Panchayats".
AP CM Jagan stated "I am proud to extend @YSRCParty’s support to the #WomenReservationBill. Empowering our women is of utmost importance to us. We achieved this in Andhra Pradesh not only through the schemes and initiatives introduced in the past 4 years, but also by ensuring equitable representation. Together, let’s create a brighter and more equitable future!".
