Addressing an election rally in Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur to campaign for the BJP for the upcoming state polls, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “I am coming from Punjab. The mood in Punjab is to vote for BJP. Every phase of UP polls is voting for BJP. The people of Uttar Pradesh are determined to hold colourful celebrations of victory on 10th March, ahead of Holi.”

Slamming the opposition for creating vaccine hesitancy, PM Modi remarked, “'Parivarwadi' are calling COVID19 vaccines 'BJP ka Teeka'. Two kinds of people are scared of the vaccine - one is coronavirus and the other are those opposing the vaccines. These people have problem with Modi, Yogi and the vaccine.”

He further alleged, “During my first address from the Red Fort as the Prime Minister, I spoke about building toilets for the women in the villages. The opponents mocked this noble cause as they could never understand the pain of poor mothers and sisters. These people even opposed banning of triple talaq. Should I not think of the welfare of women of the country? Parivarwadi's are scared that their vote bank is vanishing as Modi is providing facilities like health schemes, houses, toilets etc. to the poor.”

During the rally, PM Modi remarked, “Bundelkhand is famous for its toys, for its rich tradition of handloom-handicrafts. The handicrafts of our tribal sisters and brothers are the best in the whole world. Special scheme has been started to promote artisans. Leaders of the opposition don’t like to endorse the ‘Vocal for Local’ mission as they think if the poor, dalits, backwards, tribals of the country will flourish then their vote-bank politics will end.”

Talking about farmers’ welfare, PM Modi said, “For decades, lakhs of farmers of Bundelkhand have been demanding to link Ken-Betwa and the double engine government has taken the initiative to complete this work. Water will reach the fields of Bundelkhand at a cost of more than 44 thousand crores.” PM Modi also warned that if ‘Parivarwadis’ come to power, they will stand as a hindrance in front of the Ken-Betwa link project.

“This entire area is very famous for many such agricultural products like Fatehpur's Chilli, Jhansi's Tulsi, Mahoba's Deshavari Paan. Especially for small farmers, such crops mean a lot. But what did opposition do for these crops, for small farmers? Today we are making new arrangements for the farmers – Beej Se Bazar Tak. We are sending thousands of rupees directly to the bank account of the farmers,” stated PM Modi while addressing a rally in Fatehpur.

Speaking further on politics over water, PM Modi iterated that the opposition has betrayed the trust of people for years whereas under the Double Engine Sarkar, water has reached the homes of lakhs in UP within two years.

“BJP's Double Engine Sarkar has given free ration to the poor for the last two years. Even big countries in the world could not make such arrangements for their citizens. Even the rich and prosperous countries could not do the work that India has done,” he added.

Prime Minister urges MPs to vote in favour of Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment, Calls it Historic Opportunity
April 17, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, has highlighted that a discussion is currently underway in Parliament on the amendment to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, noting that deliberations continued till 1 AM last night.

He stated that all misconceptions surrounding the amendment have been addressed with logical responses, and every concern raised by members has been resolved. The Prime Minister added that necessary information, wherever lacking, has also been provided to all members, ensuring that issues of opposition have been clarified.

Emphasising that the issue of women’s reservation has witnessed political debates for nearly four decades, the Prime Minister said that the time has now come to ensure that women, who constitute half of the country’s population, receive their rightful representation.

He observed that even after decades of independence, the low representation of women in the decision-making process is not appropriate and needs to be corrected.

The Prime Minister informed that voting in the Lok Sabha is expected shortly and urged all political parties to take a thoughtful and sensitive decision by voting in favour of the women’s reservation amendment.

Appealing on behalf of the women of the country, he urged all Members of Parliament to ensure that no action hurts the sentiments of Nari Shakti. He noted that crores of women are looking towards the Parliament, its intent, and its decisions.

The Prime Minister called upon MPs to reflect upon their families-mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives—and listen to their inner conscience while making the decision.

He described the amendment as a significant opportunity to serve and honour the women of the nation and urged members not to deprive them of new opportunities.

Expressing confidence, the Prime Minister said that if the amendment is passed unanimously, it will further strengthen Nari Shakti as well as the country’s democracy.

Calling it a historic moment, he urged all members to come together to create history by granting rightful representation to women, who form half of India’s population.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“संसद में इस समय नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन पर चर्चा चल रही है। कल रात भी एक बजे तक चर्चा चली है।

जो भ्रम फैलाए गए, उनको दूर करने के लिए तर्कबद्ध जवाब दिया गया है। हर आशंका का समाधान किया गया है। जिन जानकारियों का अभाव था, वो जानकारियां भी हर सदस्य को दी गई हैं। किसी के मन में विरोध का जो कोई भी विषय था, उसका भी समाधान हुआ है।

महिला आरक्षण के इस विषय पर देश में चार दशक तक बहुत राजनीति कर ली गई है। अब समय है कि देश की आधी आबादी को उसके अधिकार अवश्य मिलें।

आजादी के इतने दशकों बाद भी भारत की महिलाओं का निर्णय प्रक्रिया में इतना कम प्रतिनिधित्व रहे, ये ठीक नहीं।

अब कुछ ही देर लोकसभा में मतदान होने वाला है। मैं सभी राजनीतिक दलों से आग्रह करता हूं… अपील करता हूं...

कृपया करके सोच-विचार करके पूरी संवेदनशीलता से निर्णय लें, महिला आरक्षण के पक्ष में मतदान करें।

मैं देश की नारी शक्ति की तरफ से भी सभी सदस्यों से प्रार्थना करूंगा… कुछ भी ऐसा ना करें, जिनसे नारीशक्ति की भावनाएं आहत हों।

देश की करोड़ों महिलाओं की दृष्टि हम सभी पर है, हमारी नीयत पर है, हमारे निर्णय पर है। कृपया करके नारीशक्ति वंदन अधिनियम में संशोधन का साथ दें।”

“मैं सभी सांसदों से कहूंगा...

आप अपने घर में मां-बहन-बेटी-पत्नी सबका स्मरण करते हुए अपनी अंतरात्मा को सुनिए ...

देश की नारीशक्ति की सेवा का, उनके वंदन का ये बहुत बड़ा अवसर है।

उन्हें नए अवसरों से वंचित नहीं करिए।

ये संशोधन सर्वसम्मति से पारित होगा, तो देश की नारीशक्ति और सशक्त होगी… देश का लोकतंत्र और सशक्त होगा।

आइए… हम मिलकर आज इतिहास रचें। भारत की नारी को… देश की आधी आबादी को उसका हक दें।”

"Parliament is discussing a historic legislation that paves the way for women’s reservation in legislative bodies. The discussions, which began yesterday, lasted till around 1 AM and have continued since the House proceedings began this morning.

The Government has addressed all apprehensions and misconceptions relating to the legislation with facts and logic. All concerns have been addressed and any gaps in information have also been filled.

For nearly four decades, this issue of women’s reservation in legislative bodies has been inordinately delayed. Now is the time to ensure that half of the nation’s population receives its rightful due in decision making. Even after so many decades of Independence, it is not right that women in India have such limited representation in this area.

In a short while from now, voting will take place in the Lok Sabha. I urge and appeal to all political parties to reflect carefully and take a sensitive decision by voting in favour of women’s reservation.

On behalf of our Nari Shakti, I also request all members not to do anything that may hurt the sentiments of women across India. Crores of women are watching us…our intent and our decisions. I once again request that everyone support the amendments to the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam.”

"I would like to appeal to all Members of Parliament…

Please reflect upon your conscience, remembering the women in your own families.

The legislation to ensure women’s reservation in legislative bodies is a significant opportunity to do justice to women of our nation.

Please do not deprive our Nari Shakti of new opportunities.

If this amendment is passed unanimously, it will further empower the women of our country and strengthen our democracy.

Let us come together today to create history.

Let us ensure that the women of India, who are half of the nation’s population, receive their rightful due.”
