In a charged address from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav led a BJP trio in condemning the Lok Sabha’s rejection of the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, branding it a historic low for democracy and a direct assault on women’s honor.
Yadav evoked the Mahabharata, stating, ‘What happened to Draupadi 5,000 years ago, we saw unfold in Parliament today.’ He announced 10-day grassroots campaigns against Congress, accusing them of opportunistic politics after initially backing the bill pre-2023 elections.
PM Modi’s consensus-building letter was ignored, Yadav noted, as opposition parties like DMK peddled divisive rumors for votes. Priyanka Gandhi drew sharp criticism for sabotaging women’s political rights, contradicting her empowerment rhetoric.
State BJP chief Hemant Khandelwal called it more than a procedural failure—a blow to India’s women. Rekha Verma detailed the decades-long fight for 33% seats, praising Modi’s vision for equal participation while exposing opposition’s platform talk without substance.
This confrontation signals escalating tensions, with BJP mobilizing to highlight opposition’s inconsistencies on gender equality.
