NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the nation tonight at 8.30 PM, a day after a bill to implement women’s reservation in legislatures was defeated in the Lok Sabha.

“The Prime Minister will address the nation at 8.30 PM (April 18, Saturday),” an official said.

Modi is expected to delve into the issue of implementation of women’s quota and the happenings in Parliament, where opposition parties on Friday voted against the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill.
