She also mentioned Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana and Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, noting that women’s issues have consistently been part of the PM’s vision.
The singer didn’t stop at praising programs. She made a statement about women in governance: “We have seen in the Gram Pradhani that when they empower women at smaller units, the impact reached the top. I am sure whether it is a woman from a village, a city, a social worker, a teacher, or from any field, when she comes to Parliament, she will perform her duties more efficiently than men. Women have the ability to manage and govern better.”
