News India Live, Digital Desk: These days there is a stir in the politics of Bihar and Chirag Paswan is at the center of this political activity. A different style of Chirag Paswan was seen during the ‘Nari Shakti’ program organized at Bapu Auditorium in the capital Patna. He made a sharp counterattack on the questions being raised by the opposition regarding the Women’s Reservation Bill. Chirag bluntly said that women’s reservation is not an ‘election slogan’ or a ‘stunt’, but it is a historic step towards giving their rights to half of the country’s population.
Resolve to empower half the population
While addressing the stage, Chirag Paswan praised the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that the issue of women’s reservation was lying on the back burner for decades, but the present government has made its intention clear by bringing it on the ground. Chirag said emotionally that only when women are empowered, the dream of a developed Bihar and developed India will come true. Referring to the policies of his party, he said that his ‘Bihar First, Bihari First’ vision gives priority to women’s safety, education and self-reliance.
Strong attack on opposition’s ‘stunt’ politics
Chirag Paswan took on those opposition parties who are questioning the timing and intention of reservation. He said, “Those who are calling it an election stunt today should explain why they deprived women of their rights when they were in power?” Chirag sarcastically said that the opposition, frightened by the fear of defeat, is now finding loopholes in every good work. He made it clear that this reservation will not be limited to papers only, but in the times to come, it will write a new story of women’s participation from Panchayats to Parliament.
Importance of ‘women power’ in Bihar politics
In view of the upcoming elections, this statement of Chirag Paswan is being considered very important. Women voters in Bihar have emerged as a silent force, which has the power to make or break the equation of any party. The crowd of women gathered in the rally in Patna has indicated that Chirag is now strengthening his presence among the youth as well as the women vote bank. At the end of the program, he called upon the workers to go door to door to make people aware about these schemes of the government.
