In a fiery critique, BJP parliamentarian Ghulam Ali Khatana pointed fingers at Congress for sabotaging the Women’s Reservation Bill, urging women voters to respond decisively in upcoming polls. Citing PM Modi’s national broadcast, he emphasized how the Prime Minister laid bare Congress’s role in perpetuating the delay.
Speaking to IANS in New Delhi, Khatana detailed the Modi government’s phased approach to women’s upliftment. The first milestone: building 120 million toilets to uphold women’s dignity. Phase two: financial independence via targeted programs. ‘But political representation? Congress has hung it in limbo for years,’ he charged.
The MP singled out the opposition alliance—Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress, DMK, and others—for thwarting the bill’s passage. ‘This isn’t just politics; it’s an injustice to India’s women. They won’t forget at election time.’
Delving deeper into Congress’s flaws, Khatana labeled them as inherently anti-national. ‘Their leaders parrot adversarial lines and prioritize family over country. Kharge’s frustration stems from dynastic failures—he’s hostile to women, Dalits, and OBCs.’ Dismissing Kharge’s claims of humbling the government, Khatana quipped that public sentiment reveals the real weakness.
Shifting to tragedy, Khatana mourned the Udhampur road mishap, echoing PM Modi’s sorrow. Families in mourning deserve solidarity, he said, as medical aid flows to survivors and probes proceed under administrative oversight.
Khatana’s broadside amplifies BJP’s election strategy, contrasting governance achievements with opposition obstructionism, especially on gender parity—a rallying cry poised to mobilize female voters across the spectrum.
