Women's March in Uttar Pradesh: A Fight for Political Quota

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath spearheaded a protest on Tuesday against Congress and the Samajwadi Party for opposing a constitutional amendment bill proposing a women's quota in Parliament.

The bill, designed to increase Lok Sabha seats by implementing a women's quota, was defeated last week in the Lower House, eliciting public outrage. Thousands of women marched from Adityanath's residence to Vidhan Bhavan, showcasing a strong display of public support under intense Lucknow heat.

Adityanath accused opposition parties of maintaining an anti-women stance and highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's policies that center around women, among others, as catalysts for India's economic growth.
