“People Must Be Part of Decision-Making”: PM Modi Backs Inclusive Governance in Parliament

Prime Minister Narendra Modi emphasized the importance of inclusive governance during Parliament’s ongoing special session, stating that citizens must play a central role in the decision-making process. His remarks come as the government moves forward with key legislative measures aimed at strengthening representation and participation.

On the first day of the three-day session, the government introduced three amendment bills designed to operationalise the women’s reservation legislation passed in 2023. The law provides for 33% reservation for women in the Lok Sabha and State Assemblies, marking a significant step toward gender inclusivity in Indian politics.

Highlighting the broader vision behind these reforms, PM Modi stressed that policymaking should reflect the aspirations and voices of the people. He underscored that meaningful participation is essential for building a stronger and more representative democracy.

The introduction of the amendment bills is being viewed as a crucial step in implementing the long-pending women’s quota. However, the developments have also sparked debate in political circles, with the Opposition raising concerns over the timeline and modalities of execution.

As discussions continue in Parliament, the focus remains on ensuring that legislative changes translate into tangible outcomes, particularly in enhancing representation and empowering women in governance. The session is expected to witness further deliberations on these critical reforms in the coming days.
