Women's quota law: BJP has turned 'nari' into 'nara', says Akhilesh Yadav

NEW DELHI: (Apr 16) Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday accused the ruling BJP of turning 'nari' (women) into a "nara" (slogan) and that it was using amendments to the women's quota law to delay the Census.

Participating in a debate on three bills introduced in the Lok Sabha to amend the Women's Reservation Act, 2023, and set up a delimitation commission, Yadav said the Samajwadi Party has always supported reservation for women and furthered the cause of women-led development.

All socialist leaders have believed in gender and social justice, he said.
