Madhya Pradesh: BJP holds legislative party meeting ahead of one-day Assembly Session

Madhya Pradesh BJP holds legislative party meeting at CM Mohan Yadav's residence ahead of special assembly session on women's empowerment and reservation.

"The discussion will be initiated by CM Yadav on behalf of the BJP. - BJP Statement"

Bhopal, April 27

Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in Madhya Pradesh on Monday held a legislative party meeting at Chief Minister Mohan Yadav's residence ahead of the Special Session of the Legislative Assembly, focusing on 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' and discussions centred on the empowerment of women.

The state assembly secretariat issued a notification in this regard on Tuesday, stating that the proceedings will be held from 11:00 am to 1:30 pm and again from 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm, unless otherwise directed by the Speaker.

The agenda of the special session highlights deliberations on policies and initiatives related to women's empowerment, reflecting the government's emphasis on inclusive development.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will table a Government Resolution for women's empowerment and development. The resolution will include provisions for implementing 33 per cent reservation for women in the Legislative Assembly.

The discussion will be initiated by CM Yadav on behalf of the BJP.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Legislative Assembly has also announced a One-Day Special Session on Tuesday, April 28, at the Old Secretariat. The Odisha Legislative Assembly has called a one-day session on April 30 to discuss the participation of women in Indian democracy.

This comes after the Opposition parties in the Lok Sabha voted against the Constitution Amendment Bill on April 17. The Lok Sabha took up the Constitution (One Hundred and Thirty-first Amendment) Bill, the Delimitation Bill, and the Union Territories Laws (Amendment) Bill together for passing. In the division that took place on the Constitution Amendment Bill following the debate on the three bills, 298 members voted in favour and 230 against.

After the fall of the Constitutional Amendment Bill, the NDA parties slammed the Opposition parties, accusing them of hindering one-third reservation for women legislators.

The BJP has held Jan Akrosh Padyatras in several states, slamming the Opposition parties.

Actually, this is a big step forward. As a woman, I feel 33% reservation in Assembly can bring real change. But why did opposition vote against it in Lok Sabha? 😡 They talk about empowerment but block it when it matters.

Haha, BJP doing "Jan Akrosh" on women reservation? They had years in power, why the sudden dharma? Just politics before elections. Wake up people!

It's encouraging that even Odisha and Delhi are following suit. Women's participation in democracy is long overdue. But this should not be just a one-day show - need sustained policies for education and safety too. 🙏

Both sides are playing games. Congress votes against bill, BJP does padyatras. Meanwhile, common woman still struggles for basic rights. Real empowerment is about education and jobs, not just reservation in assembly.
