Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Saturday said that the defeat of the Women's Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha was an "unpardonable crime.
"Addressing an NDA rally at Nidadavolu in East Godavari district, he alleged that the bill was "defeated in a derogatory manner to undermine women's confidence." "All women had high hopes.
The bill was defeated
in a derogatory manner to undermine their confidence. This is an unpardonable crime," Naidu said.
Outlining the intent behind the bill, the TDP supremo said that greater representation of women in legislative bodies would ensure due respect, promote development, and strengthen justice.
He was addressing the rally to denounce the bill's defeat in the Lok Sabha on Friday.
