Briefing reporters in New Delhi, senior leader Venkaiah Naidu said this is being done to bring to the fore the sufferings of the people who are reeling under rising food inflation. He demanded the government should take urgent steps to address the issue. Giving details of the party's parliamentary meeting, Mr Naidu said entire opposition and some UPA alliance partners have joined ranks to register their protest on the price rise. <br/><br/>He said in his address to the Parliamentary party meeting senior leader Mr L K Advani again contended that the one rank one pension scheme has not been implemented fully for armed forces.<br/><br/>Quoting from a press release issued by the Ex-servicemen, he said no jawan or junior commissioned officer has received any orders for enhancement of pensions. The party strongly supports the women reservation bill in the present form and called upon the government to bring it to Parliament for discussion and passage.<br/><br/>Mr Naidu, however, said that his party will examine the Bill thoroughly. He claimed that the BJP or the NDA ruled states have shown better governance and this is reflected in their higher GDP growth.<br/>
