Gorakhpur, 22 April. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lashed out at all the opposition parties including Congress and Samajwadi Party for not passing the Nari Shakti Vandan Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, saying that these parties do not want to give leadership rights to women.

CM Yogi said that through the amendment bill, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to give women the right to participate in law making and its implementation from the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, but the anti-women opposition, which celebrated the defeat of the bill, does not accept this.
see spai, daughter scared
Chief Minister Yogi mainly blamed Congress, Samajwadi Party, TMC and DMK for this. He said that the actions of Congress and SP have been anti-women from the beginning. Congress has always worked to hinder the rights of women, Dalits, deprived and backward people, whereas SP is declared anti-women. It is also said about SP – ‘Look SP, daughter got scared.’
Two and a quarter lakh women admitted
CM Yogi said that before 2017, during the SP government, people in central and western Uttar Pradesh had stopped sending their daughters to school, whereas today daughters are going to school without any restriction. He said that from 1947 to 2017, only 10 thousand women were recruited in UP Police, whereas after 2017 this number is 44 to 45 thousand.
He said that it has been made mandatory to recruit 20 percent women in police recruitment in the state. Since 2017, more than nine lakh have been recruited in government jobs and in these, two and a quarter lakh women have been recruited. MSME revival has provided employment to more than three crore people, more than 21 thousand startups have started in the state and half of them are women.
Women’s political participation necessary
The Chief Minister said that political participation of women is necessary to realize the vision of a self-reliant and developed India. Women have got assured representation in Panchayats and local bodies and its results are also pleasant. 54 percent of block heads in the state are women. Similarly, if we look at Gram Panchayats and District Panchayats, women’s participation will reach 50 percent.
Expressing gratitude towards half the population, participated in the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan’ conference organized in Gorakhpur district today.
From household to space travel, from education, health, security, self-reliance to empowerment, women power is progressing effectively in every field today.

He said that now when PM Modi started the campaign to give 33 percent reservation to women in Parliament and Assemblies through the Nari Shakti Vandan Act, then anti-women parties like SP and Congress resorted to making excuses and delaying.
No one will be able to deprive you of your rights for a long time
Despite the scorching heat, the Chief Minister, happy to see the large number of women attending the conference, said that the participation of Nari Shakti is a clear message that no one can deprive women of their rights for too long. This is not begging by women power, it is their automatic right, which efforts were being made to suppress since independence. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has started a campaign with the Nari Shakti Vandan Act as a mark of gratitude to half the population. PM Modi believes that where women are empowered, the family becomes strong in itself. When the family is strong then the foundation of the society is strong and when the foundation of the society is strong then the nation is powerful and prosperous.
Mother power is revered in Indian tradition
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that mother power has always been revered in India’s history and its tradition. By adding names of mothers, Lord Ram is called Kaushalyanandan, Lord Krishna is called Yashodhanandan, Bhishma Pitamah is called Gangeya and Arjun is called Kaunteya. This is proof of this. The word Shri in Shri Ram is for Mother Sita. Siyavar Ramchandra ki Jai Jaikara is also chanted by first adding the name of Mother Sita. In Mathura-Vrindavan, the land of Shri Krishna, every address starts with the name of Radhe-Radhe. Namah Parvati Pataye is chanted in Kashi. The divine river Ganga is also called Mother Ganga. Despite being in the animal form, the cow is called Gomaiya. All these are related to the address of mother power.
people who eat cows, Do they drink pig’s milk??
CM Yogi said that any country in the world may not consider cow as its mother, but it drinks cow’s milk only. He also raised the question, do people who eat cows drink pig’s milk?
respect for the importance of women’s dignity
The Chief Minister said that the work of taking women’s dignity and importance forward by respecting it at every level has started in the country after 2014 under the leadership of PM Modi. Earlier there were complaints of feticide so that the daughter could not claim her rights in the property. The Prime Minister made efforts to stop the menace of men and women ratio and the curse of feticide through programs like Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Matru Vandana, Indradhanush Yojana. He said that in the state too, Chief Minister Kanya Sumangala Yojana was launched for the education of daughters from birth to graduation. 26 lakh daughters are currently taking benefit of this scheme.
CM Yogi also visited the stall of Women Welfare and Child Development Department. He also provided food to the children at the child development stall. After feeding the children kheer, he blessed them and gave them gifts. He also told the mothers – feed kheer to the children comfortably and whatever is left, eat it yourself.
