“Who brought the women's reservation bill?” asks PM Narendra Modi in poll-bound Rajasthan

Narendra Modi, reached poll-bound Rajasthan on Monday, to address the last leg of BJP's ‘Parivartan Sankalp Mahasabha’ on Monday. Days after the Women's Reservation Bill was approved by both houses of the Parliament, PM Modi was welcomed by the BJP Mahila Morcha cadres at an elaborate rally, amidst chants of ‘Narendra Modi Zindabad.’

Stating the BJP Government’s commitment towards the betterment of the people of Rajasthan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “The BJP government is committed towards the development of Rajasthan. The resolve of change taken by us is going to open the doors of all-round development in the state.” Much like his rally in Bhopal earlier this morning, the Prime Minister at the mega-rally in Rajasthan said, “I have always been dedicated to serving you, the people of my country. I always do what I say. Modi’s guarantee is the guarantee to all other guarantees.”

While the success of Chandrayaan-3, the inauguration of the new Parliament building, and the global confluence at New Delhi during the G20 summit were key highlights of PM Modi’s speech, the Women’s Reservation Bill reigned supreme amongst them. “I’ve visited Rajasthan many times, but this is the first time so many of my mothers and sisters have come in such large numbers to bless me”, said Modi thanking the women force of Rajasthan for their continued showers of blessing.

"Who brought the women's reservation bill? The Congress could have passed the women's reservation bill during their regime, about 30 years ago. But it never happened because the Congress never wanted that, they did not want to empower the likes of you my mothers and sisters. The Congress and the Ghamadiya (INDIA) alliance are against women's reservation, they were compelled to support it because of you, your vote led to the bill. My sisters of Rajasthan always remember this and be careful” said Modi warning the mothers and the sisters of Rajasthan of the alleged diversionary politics practiced by the Opposition alliance. Hopeful of a BJP victory in the poll-bound state, the Prime Minister said, “Rajasthan will be teaching a lesson to Congress and their INDIA alliance not just in this election, but in every upcoming election. They will be uprooted, they will cease to exist.”

Taking a jibe at the ruling Gehlot led Congress government at Rajasthan, PM Modi said, “Congress makes promises, but they forget to fulfill them. The aggrieved farmers of Rajasthan remember that the promises made by the Congress have not been fulfilled. On the contrary, over the past 9 years, we tried to help and empower the poor people of the country.” Narendra Modi further stated that the ruling Congress government of Rajasthan deserves ‘zero marks for their governance’ of the state.
