BJP Leaders Protest Opposition to Women's Reservation Amendment Bill Defeat

Following the defeat of the Women's Reservation Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, BJP leaders in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh organized protests and marches to express their opposition. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma accused opposition parties, particularly the Congress, of blocking women's rights due to a 'dynastic mindset.' Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav led a 'Jan Akrosh Mahila Yatra' in Bhopal, emphasizing women's demand for rights rather than charity and condemning the parliamentary rejection as an injustice.
