The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its National Democratic Alliance (NDA) allies are organizing nationwide protests against the INDI alliance following the defeat of the Constitution (131st Amendment) Bill in the Lok Sabha. This bill aimed to expand the House to 50 seats and provide 33% reservation for women but failed to secure the required two-thirds majority, receiving 278 votes in favor and 211 against. BJP leaders, including MP Poonamben Maadam, criticized the opposition, alleging that they blocked a historic opportunity for women's representation. The BJP plans to frame the bill's defeat as a significant setback for women's empowerment, particularly targeting upcoming elections in West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. In response to the bill's failure, NDA leaders have been instructed to campaign against the opposition, emphasizing their alleged betrayal of women's interests. The protests will be led by the BJP Mahila Morcha at all district headquarters across the country.
