Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, on Tuesday, addressing a protest rally against the Opposition for defeating the Women’s Reservation Bill, warned that this is only the beginning and asserted that the agitation will continue until women secure 33 per cent representation among MPs and MLAs under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
