BJP Plans Statewide Protests Against Opposition Over Women's Reservation Bill

The BJP is organizing large-scale protests across several states, including 'Akrosha Yatras' and rallies in district centers and cities like Bhubaneswar, to oppose the Congress and allied parties for voting against the women's reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha. BJP leaders accuse the opposition of an anti-women stance and political obstruction, while Congress representatives deny these claims, alleging BJP misinformation and questioning its commitment to women's empowerment. Both parties plan further events and debates to express their positions.
