The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly today unanimously has passed a resolution requesting the Centre to enact the Women's Reservation Bill providing 33 % reservation for women in Parliament and state legislatures. Andhra Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, has made a special statement in the House on the occasion of International Women's Day proposed the resolution and it was adopted unanimously. This has been a long pending demand on International Women's Day, we shall request the Centre to enact the women's reservation bill and give women their due,  Chandra Babu said while making the statement. He listed out the various initiatives of his government aimed at empowerment of women. Mean while YSRCP chief Y S Jaganmohan Reddy sought to ridicule the Chandra Babu statement saying the Govt had no respect for women. 

Jagan said one of your MLAs manhandles a woman tehsildar who tried to curb the sand Mafia. You suspend our woman MLA from the House for a year for no reason. A minister's son is involved in an eve-teasing incident in Hyderabad. One of your MLAs talks bad things about women. This is the respect you have for women,and alleged that what all the Chandra Babu mentioned in the statement were blatant lies. However ruling party members hit back at Jagan one after the other, leaving the opposition leader speechless. Afer that CM moved the resolution on reservations for women.
