India TV-CNX Survey: The Narendra Modi-led government just passed the long-pending Women's Reservation Bill in the Parliament. While the Congress extended support for the women's reservation bill, it also demanded its immediate implementation along with the provision for the representation of SCs, STs and OBCs. The Congress also dubbed the government as anti-OBCs for not allocating the reservation. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi while batting for its immediate implementation said that the legislation is "incomplete" without provision for quota for OBCs.
