Women hail Reservation Bill, seek greater voice in politics

Women who arrived to cast their votes in the Assam Assembly election, on Thursday, hailed the Women’s Reservation Bill.

They appreciated Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his "work" towards women empowerment and hoped the Bill will pave the way for women to come forward and raise their voices.

Waiting in a queue at a polling booth, Sagarika said, "Women should get equal rights as men because politics is also the same for both men and women."

"If women don't come forward then how will the country move towards development. A country progresses because of it's women. That is why I liked this step taken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi," she added.

Referring to the article, Manju Das added, "The Prime Minister is doing good work, including for the poor."
