New era is beginning with Women's Reservation Bill: Delhi CM Rekha Gupta

NEW DELHI: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Monday that the Women's Reservation Bill marks the beginning of a new era. She added that it has taken decades of progress for women in the country to reach this stage, evolving from the ideals of "Beti Bachao" and "Beti Padhao" to now moving towards "Beti Badhao".

Speaking to reporters, Chief Minister Gupta noted, "I feel that a new era is beginning with this Women's Reservation Bill. It has taken almost a century for the daughters and women of our country to reach this stage. The Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam will truly take the nation's progress to a new level."

Highlighting the importance of women's representation, she emphasised that increased participation of women in decision-making processes will significantly transform governance.

"The participation of women in decisions and their presence in policy-making will take them to great heights. There will be involvement of every woman in decision-making. Whether it is the Vidhan Sabha, Parliament, or Panchayat, when women are part of the process, they will contribute meaningfully to every aspect," the Chief Minister said.
