Lucknow: Aparna Yadav, who joined the BJP on Wednesday, said that women should be given 50% reservation for their empowerment. "The crime perpetrated on women will also be controlled if they become self-reliant. I will also urge the Modi government to provide 33% reservation to women," said Aparna Yadav, adding, "Other political parties should also come forward to chip in for women's reservation bill. The BJP government at the Centre should come up with a Bill in Parliament, for providing quota to women. Besides, leaders from other political parties should also try to increase the representation of women. By doing this, it will be strengthened the political system as well."
