BUXAR---------------------------During a press conference presided over by Kanchan Devi, the District President of the BJP Mahila Morcha (Women's Wing), the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' was hailed as a historic step towards women's empowerment. Speakers stated that this Act, while strengthening democracy, will also ensure women's participation in Parliament and State Legislative Assemblies, thereby giving a new impetus to the nation's development.

Addressing the press conference, Kanchan Devi remarked that under the leadership of Narendra Modi, concrete efforts are being undertaken to politically empower women. She noted that under this Act, women are being provided with a 33 percent reservation in Parliament and State Assemblies, enabling them to play an active role in the decision-making process. This will boost women's self-confidence and further fortify the democratic system.

BJP leader Poonam Ravidas, while highlighting the Central Government's schemes, stated that initiatives such as the Ujjwala Yojana, Jal Jeevan Mission, and Swachh Bharat Mission have brought about significant improvements in women's standard of living. She added that these schemes have provided women with immense relief in the spheres of health, sanitation, and basic amenities. Furthermore, decisions such as the introduction of the 'Mahila Samman Savings Certificate' and the extension of maternity leave have economically and socially empowered women.

Senior leader Chanda Pandey observed that there has been a remarkable rise in women's self-respect in recent times—a credit she attributed to the policies of the Central Government. Describing the 'Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam' as a milestone in the journey of women's empowerment, Pinky Pathak asserted that this legislation would enable the nation to establish new dimensions of development.

Applauding the Prime Minister's efforts, Om Jyoti Bhagat remarked that unprecedented work has been accomplished to empower women. Indu Devi stated that today, by becoming self-reliant, women are playing a pivotal role in the nation's development. Expressing her gratitude to the Prime Minister, she lauded the efforts being made to enhance women's participation across all levels—from the Panchayat to the Parliament.
