Why didn't Congress-led UPA pass women quota bill in Lok Sabha, asks Smriti Irani

Senior BJP leader Smriti Irani slammed the opposition for questioning the government's intent on the Women's reservation bill. Irani defended the government's approach, asserting that constitutional procedures must be followed. She dismissed allegations of gerrymandering, emphasising that the government is relying on established data and constitutional mandates. She accused the opposition of hypocrisy for previously demanding the bill's implementation but now questioning the required census and delimitation processes, while highlighting the historical failure of previous administrations to pass the legislation in the lower house of parliament.
