Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday said that his party supports the women's reservation bill. Yadav, on the other hand, also alleged that the BJP was pushing it with a "hidden agenda" that sidelines backwards-class women and avoids a caste-based census.

As reported by news agency PTI, Akhilesh’s remarks come a day before the three-day special sitting of Parliament during which the women's quota and delimitation bills will be taken up.
