It (passing of the women's reservation bill) was made possible because people elected a strong, stable and decisive government that has a full majority, the Prime Minister asserted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted today that the women's reservation bill is no ordinary legislation, but an announcement of a new India's new democratic commitment.
Addressing an event organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Mahila Morcha to felicitate him for the passage of the women's reservation bill in Parliament, PM Modi also made a pitch for having a strong government with majority, saying this made the parliamentary approval for the long-pending idea possible.
Having reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies was talked about for nearly three decades, he noted, adding that the earlier efforts lacked commitment and women were even insulted.
