MLA Engleng said, “Our Prime Minister Modi really understands women empowerment and gives due recognition to it. With the passing of the bill, women will now get 33% reservation of seats in the Lok Sabha and legislative assemblies. The Congress government has not done this when they were in power, but the present BJP government has done it. We need to thank our Prime Minister for giving priority to women.”

She said with the passing of bills in Parliament, the same should be done in the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) and in municipal boards. KAAC should take a decision for the reservation of 33 % seats for women.
The programme was presided over by Mahila Morcha BJP-EKADC, president Roshmi Teronpi and attended by Member of Autonomous Council (MACs), Kache Rongpipi and Kadom Terangpi, secretary, BJP Mahila Morcha, Assam Pradesh Newlyborn Teronpi and other leaders.
