During a recent address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi commented on the women's reservation bill's defeat in Parliament. In response, TMC MP Mahua Moitra accused him of misleading the public, asserting that the women's reservation bill was actually passed and notified just two days prior. She emphasized that there is nothing preventing the implementation of the bill, which would allocate one-third of the 543 parliamentary seats to women, similar to what the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has done. Fellow TMC MP Babul Supriyo also criticized the Modi administration, stating that the government lacked the necessary two-thirds majority for a constitutional amendment and condemned the linking of the women's bill to delimitation as unethical. Supriyo questioned the appropriateness of PM Modi using state television to justify the bill, suggesting that such matters should be addressed in a political context rather than through government platforms.
