What Happened
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation at 8:30pm Saturday, following the Lok Sabha's rejection of a women's reservation bill. The legislation sought to increase Lok Sabha seats from 543 to 816 and reserve 33 percent positions for women in legislatures before 2029 elections. The bill required two-thirds majority but the NDA lacked sufficient numbers.
