Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a strong critique of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) during a rally in Jhargram, West Bengal, labeling the party as anti-women. He called upon the women voters to hold the TMC accountable for its alleged failure to support women's political representation. Modi stated that the BJP aimed to implement 33% reservation for women in elections starting from 2029, but the TMC opposed this initiative in Parliament. He accused the TMC of employing deceitful tactics to prevent women from becoming Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of Parliament (MPs). Modi expressed concern that the TMC was wary of increased female representation, fearing that elected women would advocate for their rights. Additionally, he criticized the TMC's alliance with the Indian National Congress, claiming it obstructed more women from entering the assembly and accused the party of pursuing religion-based reservations, which he deemed disrespectful to the Constitution. Modi concluded by urging voters to punish the TMC for what he termed its 'crimes' against women.
