NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday accused Congress of “betraying” girls and slammed the social gathering and its allies for celebrating the defeat of the Structure modification invoice looking for to implement girls’s reservation in Lok Sabha and assemblies with a 50% hike in Lok Sabha seats. “Congress smiled smugly, thumped desks and celebrated the crushing of the political aspirations of strange girls. Congress and its allies celebrated the truth that girls who’ve struggled for years in politics and who have been solely demanding 33% reservation in Parliament have been denied their rights,” BJP’s Smriti Irani mentioned. Union minister Kiren Rijiju mentioned opposition events have inflicted a “stain” on themselves by defeating the invoice and that they won’t be able to clean it away. “We’re unhappy, however we don’t contemplate it a failure of the social gathering and govt. They’ve harm the ladies of the nation. We needed to present honour to girls and empower them. We are going to proceed to take action,” he mentioned, terming Congress “anti-women”. Irani criticised the opposition’s stance as a mirrored image of a “feudal mindset”, alleging that it treats constitutional rights as political favours somewhat than entitlements. BJP’s Ravi Shankar Prasad criticised Priyanka Gandhi over her remarks, questioning her cost that BJP was utilizing girls for its political advantages. “Girls in India can’t be handled as a commodity,” he mentioned
