In fact, after the passage of the Constitution Amendment (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, the BJP and its allies are accusing the opposition parties of being anti-women. In response to which Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi held a press conference and said that what happened yesterday was a huge victory for democracy. The government’s conspiracy to change the federal structure and weaken democracy failed and was stopped. It was a victory for the Constitution, a victory for the country, and a victory for the unity of the opposition; And this was clearly visible on the faces of the leaders of the ruling party… I think it is a conspiracy, so that they can somehow remain in power… So, to achieve this, they are planning how to use women to remain in power forever… They thought that if this bill is passed, they will win.”

After this, former Union Minister and BJP leader Smriti Irani said in a press conference, “The women of the country were told that the Congress Party has woven a dream whose objective is to secure political rights for women. What happened to that objective after 98 years, yesterday the women of the entire country saw in the Parliament of the country. Yesterday, the Congress Party crushed the aspirations of political awakening of the country while smiling, patting the tables and celebrating politically. But BJP’s This is not just a fight for power; women will remember that during six decades of Congress rule, 11 crore women were deprived of toilet facilities. Women will remember that under the BJP-NDA regime, the ‘Gender Budget’ framework was introduced.

He said, “Congress and its supporting parties celebrated how the struggling political women of this country, who have been working for years and demanding only 33% rights, how to deprive them of their rights, how to hurt their dignity and how to win this battle in Parliament. Today, in the Congress press conference, it was taunted that some people in BJP tried to prove themselves as ‘Messiahs’.”

Smriti Irani said, “I was surprised to hear that in the Congress press conference today it was said that they support the Women’s Reservation Bill, which was passed in 2023 and which mentions delimitation. But look at the dual attitude of the Congress; they also say that they do not have faith in the commitment towards this process and its arrangements. The Congress has no faith in the constitutional arrangements of the country, in the Parliament and in the women of the country…”
