Pawan Kalyan welcomes Nari Shakti Vandan Amendment Bill for 33% women’s reservation

Jana Sena Party (JSP) President and Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan on Thursday (April 16, 2026) welcomed the introduction of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam Amendment Bill, 2026 in the Lok Sabha, calling it a historic step by the BJP-led NDA government towards securing women their rightful place in governance through 33% reservation in legislative bodies.

In a post on X, Mr. Pawan Kalyan said the journey of women’s empowerment was deeply rooted in India’s constitutional foundations, shaped by the founding mothers of the Indian Constitution such as Dakshayani Velayudhan, Hansa Mehta, Durgabai Deshmukh, Vijaya Lakshmi Pandit and Rajkumari Amrit Kaur, whose contributions to the framing of the Constitution ensured dignity, equality and justice for generations of Indian women.
