This celebration by the opposition is an insult to every woman who has been waiting for her rights for decades. How many times will Congress and its allies betray women?

‘This celebration of the opposition is an insult to women’
Further, Amit Shah said that this celebration of the opposition is an insult to every woman who has been waiting for her rights for decades. He asked how many times will Congress and its allies betray women? He said that sometimes the ego’s happiness, which appears like victory, is actually a big defeat hidden in reality, which some people are unable to understand.
Along with this, he said in another post, ‘Today a very strange scene was seen in the Lok Sabha. Congress, TMC, DMK and Samajwadi Party did not allow the Constitution Amendment Bill required for the Nari Shakti Vandan Act to be passed. Rejecting this bill giving 33% reservation to women, celebrating it and raising slogans of victory is really condemnable and unimaginable.
A very strange scene was seen in the Lok Sabha today.
Congress, TMC, DMK and Samajwadi Party did not allow the constitutional amendment bill required for Nari Shakti Vandan Act to be passed. Dropping the bill to give 33% reservation to women, celebrating and hailing it is truly condemnable and beyond imagination.

‘This insult to women power will go far’
Shah said, ‘Now the women of the country will not get 33% reservation in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies, which was their right. Congress and its allies have done this not for the first time, but again and again. Their mentality is neither in the interest of women nor in the interest of the country. The Union Minister further said, ‘I want to tell them that this talk of insulting women power will not stop here, it will go far’. The opposition will have to face the ‘wrath of women’ not only in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections, but at every level, in every election and everywhere.
The bill fell by 54 votes
In fact, on Friday (April 17), the government could not get the 131st amendment bill of the Constitution related to the Women’s Reservation Bill passed in the Lok Sabha. There was a provision to increase the 543 seats of Parliament to 850. Voting took place after 21 hours of discussion on the bill in the Lok Sabha. 528 MPs present cast their votes. 298 votes were cast in favor and 230 against. Two-thirds majority was required to pass the bill. Two thirds of 528 is 352. In this way the bill failed by 54 votes.
