Yogi Adityanath Leads Protest March in Lucknow Over Women's Reservation Bill Defeat

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led the 'Jan Aakrosh Mahila Padyatra' in Lucknow to protest the Lok Sabha's rejection of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill, which sought to reserve 33% of seats for women in Parliament and state assemblies. The march included BJP leaders, women supporters, and allies, emphasizing women's rights and political participation. Opposition parties like Congress, SP, TMC, and DMK opposed the bill, prompting criticism from Yogi Adityanath and BJP leaders, who framed the protest as a commitment to women's empowerment.
