Accusing the BJP-led NDA government of not doing enough for women empowerment in the last four years, Sushmita Dev, president of All India Mahila Congress said if Prime Minister Narendra Modi is serious about women's rights, then he should bring the long-pending Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament.
Dev also claimed that due to the pressure from the central government, women leaders of the BJP are not able to openly speak about crime against women unlike they did during the UPA regime.
Talking to PTI Bhasha, she said, "In the last four years, have you ever heard Modi talking about the Women Reservation Bill? If he is serious about women empowerment, then he will bring the Bill in Parliament as soon as possible. The Congress party will support it in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha."
