Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today accused Governor Kamla Beniwal of rejecting a bill providing 50 per cent reservation to women in local government bodies “despite being a woman herself’.
“I had decided that 50 per cent reservation to women in local bodies’ elections would help them. But the Governor rejected the proposal and sent it back. This was despite she being a woman herself,” Modi said at a function in Mahatma Gandhi’s birthplace Porbandar on his 142nd birth anniversary.
Modi said that the governor also rejected another important bill that could have benefited thousands of middle class families in the state.
“We had decided to regularise illegal constructions by levying impact fee, but the governor rejected that bill too. This bill could have solved problems of a number of middle class people,” Modi said.
