SRINAGAR: Senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana Thursday said that the recently passed women reservation bill would become a game changer for the empowerment of women as it would pave the way for their participation in decision-making.
Addressing Mahila Sammelan, as part of the BJP’s campaign for ensuing elections to Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, Rana said the historical legislation demonstrates the strong political will and deep urge of PM Narendra Modi to empower women, who constitute nearly half of the country’s population.
He said the landmark event in the political history of India will go a long way in giving wings to the urges and aspirations of women. “They can fix priorities, influence decisions and put an end to gender discrimination.”
“This is yet another major decision in a series of steps like entry of women in the officer cadre of the armed forces taken by the BJP during its over nine years rule under Prime Minister Modi. It is a step forward towards giving women their due they deserved for a long time,” he added.
Rana referred to the progress registered by India under Narendra Modi, saying the world is watching with envy the economic progression despite the gloomy pandemic, making it possible to stand at number five in the global economy. “Now the nation is marching with much more confidence to stand among the first three economic powers of the world, he said, adding that this can happen only under decisive and visionary leadership.”
