"I give guarantee no injustice will be done to any state".

"Anyone who oppose Women Quota Bill today will suffer the consequences for a long time" - PM Narendra Modi

"Ek baar aney to doh" - Modi 

“I want to tell all my fellow parliamentarians that we should not be under the illusion or pride that we are giving anything to the women of this country. Not at all, this is their right.”

"Yeh Haq hae"

"I'd also like to offer advice to those who think only in political terms. Ever since the discussion about women's reservations began in our country, and every election that followed, whoever opposed this right for women, the women of the country have not forgiven them...". 

"Let women come to these platforms of decision making"  

"We have already delayed it. 

Whatever the reasons may be, whoever is responsible, we must accept this reality. I know that when this process was underway, consultations were held with all parties. Except for one party, everyone we met did not raise any principled opposition. 

Whatever happened later, a political direction is being taken now".

Modi says, "If the word 'guarantee' is required, I use the word 'guarantee'. If you talk about a promise, I use the word 'promise'. If there is a better word in Tamil, I am also ready to use that. 

If the intent is clear, then we do not need to play games with words..."

In Lok Sabha he said: " Discussion on this important bill began this morning. Many members have raised various issues, and we will provide detailed and accurate information to the House on those matters. 

"That is why I do not wish to go into those specifics. There are some important moments in the life of a country. At such a time, the mindset of the society and the capability of the leadership capture that moment and turn it into an asset for the nation, creating a strong legacy. 

In the history of India's parliamentary democracy, these are such moments...". 

Modi says, "The need was that when this idea was first conceived 25-30 years ago, and the need was felt, we should have implemented it, and today we have brought it to a mature stage. According to the need, it is also improved from time to time, and this is the beauty of democracy. Ours is the Mother of Democracy. Our democracy has been a development journey for thousands of years, and all of us in this House have the auspicious opportunity to add a new dimension to this development journey...".  

Modi also said:

"I said at the outset that we are all fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in such an important, nation-building process involving half the country's population... We MPs must not let this important opportunity slip away. 

Together, we Indians are going to give the country a new direction. We are going to make a meaningful effort to infuse our governance system with sensitivity. 

This will not only shape the nation's politics, but it will also determine the direction and condition of the country...".  

The PM also said:

"The need was that when this idea was first conceived 25-30 years ago, and the need was felt, we should have implemented it, and today we have brought it to a mature stage.  

India is marching in the 21st century with confidence, says PM in Lok Sabha
