Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju criticized Congress leaders for celebrating the failure of the Women’s Reservation Amendment Bill in the Lok Sabha, stating that “Congress and its allies have established that they are anti-women.”
Addressing reporters on Friday, Rijiju said, “If the Congress is celebrating over not granting the rights that should have been given to the women of India, then nothing could be more tragic than this… The women of India will never forgive the Congress and the opposition… The Home Minister said in the House that if you have technical difficulties, we are ready for amendments, if you want it in writing, we are also ready to give it in writing… The intention of the Congress was clear that women should not get The Congress has been exposed. The Congress Party and its allies have established that they are anti-women. The women of the country will never forgive the Congress and their allies.
The Constitution Amendment Bill for the implementation of women’s reservation starting from the 2029 general elections was defeated in the Lok Sabha, as opposition parties voted against it.
During the division following the debate on the three bills, 298 members supported the bill while 230 voted against it.
A Constitution Amendment Bill requires the support of not less than two-thirds of members present and voting to be passed. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla announced the results, stating, “The Constitution (131st Amendment) Amendment Bill did not pass as it did not achieve a 2/3 majority during voting in the House.”
