The Uttar Pradesh Legislature will hold a special one-day session on Thursday (30 April). The session will focus on the Women’s Reservation Bill. The BJP government plans to bring a condemnation motion against the Samajwadi Party and Congress. The government claims these parties blocked the bill in the Lok Sabha.
Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Khanna will present the motion in the Assembly. After that, leaders from different parties and MLAs will take part in the discussion. Political tensions remain high, and disruptions are likely in both Houses during the session.
The state cabinet recently approved this move. The government wants to expose what it calls an opposition conspiracy against women’s reservation. The session will also include discussions on women’s empowerment. Leaders may raise issues such as women’s safety, rights, jobs, education, and social participation.
Focus on Women’s Issues and Key Addresses
The Assembly will give more time to women members to speak. CM Yogi will address the House later in the evening. Before him, Leader of Opposition Mata Prasad Pandey and other party leaders will share their views.
