Yogi Adityanath Challenges Opposition on Women's Reservation Bill

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urged the opposition to engage in discussions during a special assembly session about the Women's Reservation Bill. Accusing the Samajwadi Party and Congress of being anti-women, he called for them to apologize for not supporting the legislation in the Lok Sabha.

In a bold move, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has called out the opposition parties, urging them to participate in discussions regarding the Women's Reservation Bill during a special assembly session. He implores the Samajwadi Party and the Congress to demonstrate courage by engaging in the discourse and apologizing for their lack of support in the Lok Sabha.

Before the session, Adityanath outlined the Modi government's efforts in introducing the Constitution Amendment Bill and denounced the opposition's resistance, particularly targeting the Samajwadi Party as a systematically anti-women entity. He highlighted past conduct and reiterated the necessity for opposition leaders to reconsider their stance for the betterment of women’s representation in politics.

The special assembly session aims to introduce a condemnation motion against the opposition for stalling the legislation, labeling them as 'anti-women.' This strategic maneuver serves to pressure the opposition before the 2027 elections, while the opposition remains steadfast in contesting the ruling party’s narrative.
