VARANASI, April 29 -- BJP president Nitin Nabin on Tuesday showered praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's commitment to women's empowerment, asserting that the PM has a proven track record of turning "resolves into reality" despite opposition hurdles. He highlighted that the prime minister's initiatives moved beyond mere welfare schemes to fostering "women-led leadership" across the country. "Whenever you have taken a pledge for this country, you have transformed that 'sankalp' (resolve) into 'siddhi' (attainment). The nation is witness to how you took up the cause of women's dignity through the Triple Talaq legislation, and in return, half of the country's population showered you with their blessings," Nabin said adressing women at Nari Shakti Vandan Women Conference. He noted that by placing women's empowerment at the very centre of its agenda, the government has taken several historic steps. Nabin drew an analogy, observing that just as Maa Ganga nourishes Indian culture, the women of the nation play a pivotal role in building both the family unit and society at large. He reiterated that PM Modi has bestowed upon the country's female population a dignity that eluded them under previous administrations. "Kashi is not merely a city or a piece of land; it is the consciousness of an eternal culture that has shown India the confluence of 'Gyan' (knowledge), 'Shakti' (power) and 'Bhakti' (devotion) for ages," Nabin said, while also praising women of the region for their "struggle, hard work, and inner strength". Referring to the PM's welfare schemes for women, he noted that the 'Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana liberated millions of women from the hazards of household smoke. Furthermore, under the PM Awas Yojana, women have been granted ownership rights to their homes, a measure that has significantly enhanced their social standing. Additionally, initiatives such as 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' played a crucial role in securing the future of young girls, added Nabin. "Women are taking the lead in diverse fields ranging from AI to Olympiads and sports. Schemes such as Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao are actively empowering women and young girls," he said....
