Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Modi Government Over Women's Quota and Delimitation Bill

In a dramatic Lok Sabha session, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a severe critique against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government. He accused the administration of deploying the women's reservation bill to gerrymander electoral boundaries rather than genuinely empower women. His comments drew strong objections from the treasury benches and a call for decorum from the Speaker, Om Birla.

Citing the Delimitation Bill, Gandhi argued that the BJP-led government's actions, described as anti-national, were an attempt to redraw the political map of India in their favor. He insisted that the move was a tactic to maintain power amidst declining political influence. The opposition leader was outspoken about the necessity for a constitutional amendment to ensure fair representation, particularly for the OBC community in both Parliament and State Assemblies.

The discourse further escalated as Gandhi condemned the government's decision not to implement the Nari Shakti Act immediately. He insisted that the current bills were merely tools to postpone caste representation, accusing the ruling party of attempting to sidestep the caste census findings. The debate highlighted the intense political and ideological standoff as the Lok Sabha continued to debate the constitutional amendments late into the night.
