Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav criticized the Centre for the ‘Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam’ (Women’s Reservation Act), accusing the BJP of playing a deceptive game to mislead the country on women’s reservation. He commended Opposition parties for exposing this strategy. Yadav stated that the BJP was using women’s rights for political gains, diverting attention from real issues and reducing women to mere slogans.
Yadav alleged that the Modi government aimed to create discord among women through the reservation bill, but the united Opposition prevented this. He criticized the ruling party for focusing on rhetoric rather than concrete actions to enhance women’s grassroots involvement, emphasizing that women were being treated as a political tool.
Calling for a caste-based census, Yadav warned against deviating from established procedures, which could cause confusion and fear. He urged the Centre to uphold governance ethics. He emphasized the importance of understanding women’s representation before granting them rights, highlighting the emerging opposition as the genuine voice of diverse sections in the country.
Accusing the BJP of divisive politics for personal gain, Yadav claimed that the public was rejecting their outdated ‘CMF (Create Mistrust and Fear) Formula.’ He predicted that increasing public awareness and women’s empowerment would reshape political dynamics. Yadav challenged the BJP’s intentions regarding women’s reservation, asserting readiness to counter their strategies democratically.
