NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8.30 pm on Saturday. There is no clarity yet on what the Prime Minister is expected to speak about.
The speech comes a day after a major setback for the BJP-led government in the Lok Sabha, where the Constitution Amendment Bill linked to the Women’s Reservation policy failed to pass. The proposed legislation, tied to the implementation of women’s reservation through delimitation, required a two-thirds majority but fell short after a lengthy and heated debate.
In the voting that followed, 298 members supported the bill, while 230 opposed it, resulting in its defeat. The outcome marked a rare legislative loss for the government on a key reform measure it had been pushing.
PM Modi’s last address to the nation was on September 21, when he spoke about GST reforms.
