The Madhya Pradesh Assembly on Monday passed a government resolution to grant 33 per cent reservation to women in legislative bodies after completing the delimitation exercise, in the absence of MLAs of the main opposition Congress who staged a walkout.
Replying to the day-long debate on the issue during the one-day special session of the assembly, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav accused the Congress of adopting a chronic negative attitude towards women’s empowerment.
