  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the opposition parties have brutally crushed the dreams of women by not allowing the passage of the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament despite the government's best efforts. In his address to the nation a day after the bill to implement women's reservation in the legislative assemblies fell in the Lok Sabha, Modi said that parties like Congress, DMK, TMC and Samajwadi Party have done politics for their own benefit, which has harmed the women of the country. He alleged that these parties were the ones who did not allow the attempt to provide 33 percent reservation to women in the legislative assemblies to succeed. The Prime Minister said, "I apologize to all the women of the country". He said that the opposition parties which opposed the 'Nari Shakti Vandana Act' in Parliament are underestimating the power of women.
