Punjab Congress Chief Challenges BJP on Women's Representation and Delimitation

Punjab Congress Chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has openly criticized the BJP-led Centre, accusing it of misleading women regarding the women's reservation bill. He asserts it was not the reservation bill but the delimitation bill that faced defeat.

Warring warns that the delimitation would reduce representation for states like Punjab while favoring Uttar Pradesh and Bihar—regions where the BJP holds significant influence. He insists the Congress requires no validation from the BJP concerning women's rights and highlights past initiatives by the party to bolster representation.

In a critique of local governance, Warring derides Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's international trips aimed at investments, dismissing them as ineffectual. He is supported by Congress’s Randhawa, who highlights the state’s failures in maintaining law and order.
