Women's Quota Bill Defeat Stirs Political Clash

Bihar BJP MLA Maithili Thakur criticized the opposition in the Lok Sabha for its alleged 'anti-women mindset' following the defeat of a bill intended to implement women's quota and increase Lok Sabha seats. Thakur claims the opposition prioritizes power politics over genuine women's empowerment.

Bihar BJP MLA Maithili Thakur voiced strong criticism against the opposition after a significant women's quota bill failed to pass in the Lok Sabha on Friday.

The defeated Constitution amendment bill aimed to implement a 33% reservation for women in legislatures by 2029, as well as increase the number of Lok Sabha seats.

Thakur accused the opposition of holding an 'anti-women mindset,' framing their actions as prioritizing political gain over genuine women's empowerment efforts led by the current government.
