Union Minister Bandi Sanjay Kumar has criticized the Congress party and its allies within the INDIA bloc, accusing them of blocking a key constitutional amendment aimed at facilitating women's reservation. According to Kumar, these political entities, described as 'family parties', are hesitant to promote ordinary women into leadership roles.

Kumar also highlighted Congress's historical reluctance towards women's reservation, referencing the party's opposition during the Vajpayee era. Further, he touched on the delimitation of constituencies, arguing for an increase in Lok Sabha seats to match India's soaring population, a move reportedly resisted by Congress.

The Minister didn't shy away from lambasting Telangana's Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy and others, dubbing them as obstacles to women's empowerment and hinting at inconsistencies in their approach to corruption allegations related to major projects.
