Wednesday, 20 September 2023
BJD leaders have welcomed the Centre's decision to table a bill reserving one-third of seats for women in Parliament and state legislatures. They highlight that CM Naveen Patnaik had previously sought support for this legislation in 2018. BJD, with five women among its 12 Lok Sabha members, views Odisha as a model state for women's quota, having introduced reservations in local elections in 1991 through Biju Patnaik's efforts.

"अगला नंबर योगी का...": Kejriwal Breaks Silence Over Arrest In His First Campaign Speech | AAP

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, recently granted bail in the Delhi excise policy case, launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led central government. He accused the government of attempting to crush his Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) by targeting its top leaders for arrest. Speaking at the AAP headquarters in Delhi, Kejriwal warned that if the BJP returned to power, all opposition leaders would face imprisonment. Despite his time in jail, Kejriwal explained that he did not resign from his post as he believes in fighting against authoritarianism and upholding democracy. He also expressed his determination to continue the battle for democracy, stating that even other leaders like Hemant Soren shouldn't have resigned. Kejriwal's remarks come amid escalating political tensions ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, where he predicts the BJP will secure around 220 seats. #KejriwalPressConference #AAP #BJP #LSPolls2024 #ArvindKejriwalBail #Delhi #ArvindKejriwal #HanumanTemple #ConnaughPlace #AAPnews #AamAadmiParty #Punjab #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhanews #Kejriwalnews #Oneinda #Oneindianews ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.102~
