Fadnavis Says Rahul Gandhi's Talk on Women Empowerment Is Contradictory

During a high‑profile gathering in Nagpur, Maharashtra’s Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directly challenged opposition leader Rahul Gandhi on the issue of women’s rights. Fadnavis pointed out that while Gandhi applauds women’s empowerment in speeches, he has voted against the Women’s Reservation Bill, which would guarantee seats for women in legislatures. “His teeth for eating are different from those for showing,” the CM said, implying that Gandhi’s public statements differ from his parliamentary actions. The remark came after the CM praised the massive involvement of Gen‑Z and the record‑breaking flag‑bearer performance at the event.
