Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address nation at 8.30pm | India News
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8.30 pm on Saturday. It is not yet clear what the Prime Minister will talk about.The speech came a day after a major setback for the BJP-led government in the Lok Sabha, where a constitutional amendment bill linked to the women’s reservation policy failed to pass. The proposed legislation, which included the implementation of women’s reservations through restrictions, required a two-thirds majority but failed after a long and heated debate.
In the subsequent vote, 298 members supported the bill, while 230 opposed it, resulting in its defeat. The result marked a rare legislative loss for the government on a key reform measure it had been pushing.Prime Minister Modi’s last address to the nation was on September 21, when he spoke about the GST reforms.
