Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8:30 pm today. The topic is not confirmed, creating suspense. The address comes a day after the Women’s Reservation Bill failed in Parliament. The bill aimed to reserve 33 per cent seats for women in the Lok Sabha. It did not get the required votes. The government blamed the opposition for blocking it. The opposition said the bill had flaws. More linked bills were not taken up after the failure. Parties from the INDIA alliance plan to respond. Modi’s last address to the nation was in September 2025 on GST reforms.
