Congress Plans Campaign in Chhattisgarh to Challenge BJP on Women's Reservation Issue

Congress leader Sachin Pilot announced a door-to-door campaign and protest in Chhattisgarh to challenge the BJP's handling of women's reservation. He accused the BJP of delaying reservation for three years and linking it to delimitation for political gain, while Congress supports immediate implementation based on current Lok Sabha strength. Pilot also criticized rising petroleum prices and alleged arbitrary state government actions on land and industrial projects. The Congress boycotted a recent assembly resolution on women's reservation.
