Mamata Banerjee Targets BJP Over Women's Quota Bill

Mamata Banerjee, Chief Minister of West Bengal, launched a scathing critique of the BJP on Saturday, following the Centre's inability to pass a women's quota bill. Addressing rallies, Banerjee accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP of using the bill as a political strategy rather than genuinely empowering women.

Banerjee claimed that the bill was tied to a delimitation exercise intended to redraw the country's electoral map, thus manipulating the political landscape in favor of the BJP. She emphasized that this move has ignited the beginning of the BJP's downfall, both in Parliament and potentially in Bengal.

The TMC supremo highlighted the party's dedication to women's reservation, pointing to the existing quotas in local governance, while pledging to remove the BJP's influence. She also critiqued the BJP for economic policies and alleged attempts to divide the nation and manipulate voters' data for financial benefits.
