Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during an election rally at Bishnupur in Bankura district, accused the Trinamool Congress (TMC) of betraying women by blocking the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in Parliament. The bill aimed to provide 33% reservation for women in legislative bodies.
Modi claimed that the TMC, alongside Congress, opposed the bill, showcasing an aversion to women's empowerment. He stressed the BJP's commitment to advancing women's roles in politics, contrasting it with the TMC's alleged obstructionist tactics, which he said would lead to voter backlash in upcoming West Bengal polls.
The Prime Minister further accused TMC of politics that benefit infiltrators over legitimate women's rights and criticised their stance on religious reservations. He also alleged disrespect towards tribal communities, and promised significant support for women under BJP's potential governance in West Bengal.
