Former deputy chief minister and rajya sabha MP sushil kumar modi said on wednesday that congress has
failed to pass the Women’s Reservation Bill in parliament even after being in power for 10 years due to Lalu
prasad Yadav’s blackmailing. Could not get it passed by both the houses. Even today, congress is with parties
like RJD and SP, who used all kinds of drama to stop the Women’s Reservation Bill. When Prime Minister
Narendra Modi showed the courage to introduce the Nari shakti Vandan Bill (Women Reservation Bill) in the
Lok Sabha, then it is unfortunate to repeat the same old sophistry.
Enumerated achievements of Modi government
sushil kumar modi said that before bringing the Women’s Reservation Bill, PM Modi has been showing his
respect towards half the population by implementing programs like Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, Kanya
Samriddhi Yojana, Ujjwala Free Gas Connection Scheme. Of the more than 50 crore Jan Dhan accounts
opened by the initiative of the Central government, 60 percent are the accounts of poor women from
backward, extremely backward and Dalit communities. The government has just given a rakshabandhan gift
to women by deciding to give a subsidy of Rs 200 on LPG cylinders.
Lalu prasad is anti-women’s reservation- Sushil Kumar Modi
The bjp leader said that on the other hand, there is Lalu prasad who is anti-women’s reservation, during whose
15-year rule atrocities on women increased and panchayat elections were conducted in 2003 without giving
any reservation. At that time, reservation was not given even to SC-ST on single posts. When the NDA
government with the partnership of bjp was formed in 2005, women along with backward and extremely
backward classes got reservation in the panchayat elections of Bihar.
