Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde joined forces with approximately 100 women functionaries from the Shiv Sena`s women`s wing in Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Mumbai and performed a special aarti celebrating the passage of Women`s Reservation Bill in the Indian Parliament. They invoked Lord Ganesha`s blessings to mark the historic achievement.

The women functionaries used this occasion to express their deep appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for their instrumental roles in steering the women`s reservation bill through Parliament. The bill, known as the `Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam,` aims to reserve one-third of seats in the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and state assemblies for women. It achieved unanimous approval in the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), with all 214 Members of Parliament present casting their votes in favour.
