The battle for female voter support in Bihar has intensified, with the NDA gearing up for a major show of strength at Patna’s Gandhi Maidan on Monday. The protest aims to challenge the opposition parties, specifically the RJD and Congress, who are being blamed for the stalling of the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament. Party leaders suggest that the demonstration will highlight the deep-seated anger among women who feel betrayed by the legislative delay.
Sanjay Saraogi, the BJP State President, stated that women from rural belts are eager to question the opposition. He pointed out a perceived hypocrisy: while women from elite political families in the opposition often reach Parliament, ordinary women are denied the same opportunities due to the lack of reservation. This narrative is expected to be a central theme of the rally, as speakers contrast the NDA’s initiatives with the opposition’s track record.
Logistically, the event is one of the largest mobilizations of women in recent Bihar history. Special transport arrangements have been made to bring participants from far-flung districts. CM Samrat Choudhary will lead the charge, reinforcing the NDA’s commitment to women’s empowerment. The rally is not just a protest but a significant political statement intended to put the opposition on the defensive regarding women’s rights and political participation.
