Jammu, Sep 22: Lauding the passage of the Women Reservation Bill in both Houses of Parliament with near unanimity, senior BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on Friday said the “path-breaking” initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong political will to make something huge like this to happen, which was just a political slogan for others.
Interacting with deputations and individuals during weekly public hearings at the BJP headquarters along with Veenu Khanna, BJP State Secretary, here, Rana said the new Parliament House will stand witness to Nari Shakti getting new wings on its opening day coinciding Ganesh Chathurthi.
