Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday said no one can stop women from reaching the state assemblies and Parliament now.
He said this while discussing the Nari Shakti Vandan Act during an address after launching the “Shakti Vandan Abhiyan” organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) at the Indira Gandhi Pratishthan here.
“The Nari Shakti Vandan Act (Women’s Reservation Act) will be implemented across the state,” Adityanath said.
Under the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, there is a provision for 33 per cent reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies. Adityanath said “after this Act, no political party can stop women from reaching the legislative assemblies and Parliament”. According to an official statement, the chief guest of the programme was BJP’s national secretary Vijaya Rahatkar.
