Women given quota in Panchayats easily because MPs didn't fear losing own seats: PM Modi

While speaking on women's quota in Parliament, PM Narendra Modi recalled how over 30 years ago, women were easily granted reservations in Panchayats because MPs "didn't fear losing their positions". "Lakhs of women who've worked at the Panchayat level are agitated...They are now demanding to be a part of the decision-making process in state assemblies and the Parliament," he added.
