New Delhi: Prime
Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the nation tonight, April 18,
2026, at 8:30 PM. The address follows a significant legislative development where
the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, 2026 - aimed at implementing the
Women’s Reservation Law - failed to pass in the Lok Sabha on Friday after
falling short of the required two-thirds majority.
The
Prime Minister’s speech is expected to focus on the government’s commitment to
women’s empowerment despite the recent parliamentary hurdle. Earlier today, sources indicated that during a cabinet meeting,
the Prime Minister stated that the opposition would have to "face the
consequences" for blocking the landmark legislation.
The address
comes as the special session of Parliament has been adjourned sine die. In addition to the
legislative update, the Prime Minister may address broader national issues,
including energy security and the ongoing global economic volatility caused by
regional conflicts.
The speech will be broadcast live across all major news channels and digital platforms.
