"Nari" is just a slogan of BJP: Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow, April 19 (UNI) Samajwadi Party National President Akhilesh Yadav launched a scathing attack on the BJP over the Nari Shakti Vandan Act on Sunday, saying the saffron outfit was trying to make "nari" (women) a slogan.
"The BJP was trying to make nari (women) a slogan, but the opposition prevented them from achieving their goals. If the BJP can't conduct a census, how will they provide reservation for women?" he wondered.
Addressing a press conference here, Yadav said if the government conducts a census, the issue of caste census will arise. But this government doesn't want to give them their rights.
