Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lashed out at the Congress and other opposition parties for their resistance to the women's reservation bill, asserting they will face consequences for their stance. In a Cabinet meeting over the weekend, Modi instructed Union ministers to expose the opposition's perceived 'anti-women' mindset.

According to sources, the Prime Minister emphasized his government's dedication to implementing the bill by the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, despite its failure to secure the necessary two-thirds majority in the Lok Sabha. Modi's call to action aims to rally grassroots support and challenge the opposition's narrative.

Modi reportedly advised ministers to leverage social media to voice their opposition and engage in widespread messaging. The political battlelines over the women's reservation law seem to deepen as the government and opposition continue their clash over gender-focused legislative changes. This conflict underscores the growing tensions ahead of the upcoming elections.
