New Delhi, April 6: During the BJP’s 47th Foundation Day celebrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi affirmed the party’s dedication to ensuring one-third of Lok Sabha seats are reserved for women by the 2029 elections. The Prime Minister stated that the ruling NDA will introduce amendments in an upcoming special session to expedite the implementation of the 2023 Women’s Reservation Law, which was previously tied to the completion of the 2026 Census.
The Prime Minister recalled the historical roots of this commitment, citing a 1994 resolution passed in Vadodara. He declared that the party has consistently worked toward this dream and is now prepared to fulfill it. “The party is committed to that pledge,” he asserted, adding that the public views the BJP as an organization that delivers on its promises.
The address also served to outline the party’s upcoming policy agenda, specifically mentioning the Uniform Civil Code and the proposal for synchronized national elections. The Prime Minister noted that progress is being made on these fronts, labeling them as abiding pledges. He contrasted the BJP’s “service-based politics” with the “power-based politics” of the opposition, stating that his administration is dedicated to ridding the country of corruption and illegal infiltration.
As the BJP looks toward a “developed India,” the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of maintaining a respected position on the world stage. He stated that India has moved away from a policy of equidistance to one of active engagement with all nations. He concluded by calling on party cadres to maintain their focus on national development and the goal of a self-reliant country.
