BJP Protests Opposition to Women's 33% Reservation Bill in Parliament

The BJP has organized protests in Assam and Puducherry against the Congress-led INDIA alliance's opposition to the proposed 33% reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies. BJP leaders accuse the opposition of blocking the bill and promoting dynastic politics, hindering women's political representation. The bill, aimed at increasing women's seats ahead of the 2029 elections, failed to pass in the Lok Sabha due to insufficient support. BJP plans further rallies and seminars to highlight the issue and advocate for women's political inclusion.
