Rahul Gandhi On Nari Shakti Vandan Bill: In Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi cornered the government on Nari Shakti Vandan Bill and called it an election strategy. During the speech, he narrated the story of his childhood and taught us to fight fear and truth, which created a different atmosphere in the House.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s speech once again came into limelight during the discussion on three important bills including Nari Shakti Vandan in the Lok Sabha. While on one hand he made a scathing attack on the government, on the other hand he also shared a big lesson in politics by narrating a personal story from his childhood. His speech was not limited to just political rhetoric, but it also showed emotions, experiences and a clear political message.
‘What I could not do in 20 years, Priyanka did in 5 years’
In his address, Rahul Gandhi said in a light tone that what he could not achieve in 20 years of politics, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra did in just 5 years. During this, while referring to Home Minister Amit Shah, he said that he was also seen smiling at Priyanka’s statement. This part led to a light atmosphere in the House, but after this Rahul gave a serious turn to his speech.

Childhood story and the lesson of ‘fighting fear’
While sharing an experience from his childhood, Rahul Gandhi said that he was very afraid of darkness. There was a big dog in the house, of which he and his sister were afraid and avoided going to the garden at night. He told that one day his grandmother, Indira Gandhi, took him to the same garden and left him alone. He remained afraid for about three hours, but later grandmother explained to him-
- Fear is not actually caused by external things, but by the imagination of our mind.
- Don’t be afraid of the dark, because the truth often lies there
- one has to fight for the truth
Rahul Gandhi said that at that time it was a family incident, but today he understands that it was a deep political lesson.
Questions raised on women’s reservation bill
Speaking on Nari Shakti Vandan Bill, Rahul Gandhi clearly said that this is not a law for real women empowerment. He said that the Women’s Reservation Bill passed in 2023 was the real law, but there was a delay in implementing it. He alleged that the aim of the current proposal is not to give rights to women, but to change the electoral map of the country. In his speech, Rahul Gandhi made many serious allegations against the central government. He said-
- The government believes in ‘Manuvad’ more than the Constitution.
- Minority representation is being weakened
- Injustice is being done to OBC, Dalit, women and minority communities.
He also said that “OBCs and Dalits are called Hindus, but they are not given their rights.”
What is a political message?
This speech of Rahul Gandhi was not just a way of registering a protest, but through it he tried to give three big messages-
- To corner the government on the issue of women’s reservation
- Bringing back the debate of social justice and representation
- To convey the message of ‘fighting fear’ and standing up for truth through personal experience.
This speech of Rahul Gandhi given in the Lok Sabha leaves an impact on both emotional and political levels. On the one hand, he talked about truth and courage through the lessons he learned from his grandmother, and on the other hand, he intensified the political debate by raising questions on the government’s policies. Now it has to be seen what further impact this statement has on the Parliament and the politics of the country.
