Chhattisgarh CM Criticizes Congress Over Women's Reservation Bill

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai accused the Congress of adopting a 'divide and rule' strategy, opposing the women's reservation amendment bill, which he terms a 'betrayal' of 70 crore women. Amid political reprimands, Sai underlines BJP's commitment to women's welfare while criticizing Congress for obstructing progress.

Chhattisgarh's Chief Minister, Vishnu Deo Sai, has leveled severe allegations against the Congress party, accusing it of sabotaging the passage of a crucial constitutional amendment bill aimed at securing women's reservation in legislative bodies.

At a recent press conference, Sai expressed disappointment over the defeat of the Constitution (131st) Amendment Bill, which was designed to ensure a 33% quota for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies starting in 2029. Sai condemned the Congress and its allies for what he considered a betrayal of India's 70 crore women and a violation of their political empowerment.

Highlighting years of opposition from Congress, Sai emphasized that BJP's actions, including schemes for women's welfare in Chhattisgarh, stand in contrast to Congress's apparent vote-bank and dynastic politics. Despite opposition, Sai insists the demand for women's reservation remains strong across the country.
