In Nagaland, the BJP Mahila Morcha organized a rally to protest the opposition parties' stance against the Women's Reservation Bill. The bill aimed to secure 33 per cent seat reservations for women in the Lok Sabha and state assemblies by 2029, but it was defeated in the Lok Sabha.
The BJP accuses the opposition of blocking women's progress while the opposition alleges the BJP is spreading deceptive information about its commitment to women's rights. Nagaland BJP leaders argue the defeated bill would have increased political representation for women in the state.
With conflicting opinions circulating on social media, the rally was aimed at clarifying the BJP's perspective. The Nagaland BJP remains determined to push for women's rights despite the bill's failure, emphasizing local autonomy in future political decisions.
