In response to Kharge’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in which the Congress chief accused the government of hurrying the implementation of the women’s reservation law for “political mileage”, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister said it is not about politics but about “keeping our promise” to the daughters of India.
